Fate is sealed
Title:  Fate is sealed
Description:  D&H 452 appears to be done, as it is now missing some windshield glass and other parts. Only a couple of weeks prior, I caught it working on a pusher set. Too bad, its a nice looking unit-much better than the Guilford brown on the rest of them.

Ex D&H U23
Title:  Ex D&H U23
Description:  When Guilford took over the D&H, they moved much of the power around their roster, with the D&H units being most affected. An example of that is the two units leading this train. Once D&H U23Bs, they are now lettered for the Maine Central. It became a sore point at the D&H that Guilford kept all the newer power when it let the D&H go in 1988.
