I doubt this is something one sees every day... MEC 001 at the Portland Company, dated 1868 according to this Facebook entry. (I can't embed it as it's too wide.)

It looks so tiny!

. . . tiny, and no separate sand dome.

I can't say I found it... I just linked to someone else's. But, there is a TON of MEC/BM/PTR/GT, etc. history in that group... photos of the Preble St. and Commercial St. Stations, lots of trains on Commercial St., etc. Plus, of course, a whole album devoted to Union Station in Portland.
