MEC 344 at Portsmouth Yard
Title:  MEC 344 at Portsmouth Yard
Description:  DO-1 prepares to depart the yard at Portsmouth NH with MEC 344; light engine. I remember as a kid in the early 2000's the sidings on the right would often be occupied by cuts of pellet hoppers destined for Foss in Hampton. It's sad to see this yard empty most of the time now but at least there is still some business in Portsmouth and Newington.
