1979 09-23 1300.2 MEC Rigby Yard, S. Portland, ME

            No, I did not have a drone in 1979. This birds eye view of Maine Central's Rigby engine terminal was taken from atop one of two large fuel storage tanks in the yard. And yes, I did have official authorization to climb the spiral stairs to get to the top. A Google satellite view of the area reveals that the two fuel tanks are gone.
