NEITHER SCRAPPING NOR PRESERVATION IS COST EFFECTIVE.  Watercrunch goes canoeing in the backwoods of Maine and comes across the remains of the Eagle Lake and West Branch logging railroad.

These locomotives have long been known to ferroequinologists.  Getting there is not easy, particularly in winter, and scrappers salvaged the rails long ago, but not the locomotives (perhaps the locomotives had to be floated upriver?)  They were parked in the engine shed and left.

The engine shed burned down sometime after 1967.
