In what could easily be portrayed as a MMA/Sunbury marketing photo, MMA B39-8E 8569 heads eastbound on December 15 with 25 Sunbury trailers obediently following. The MMA 778 train is seen passing a more than century old ex-Canadian Pacific Railway Section House in Bodfish, Maine. If it looks cold - it definitely was!

Nice pic but I'm not sure that marketing would be in favor of the scrap rail, tie plates, joint bars, lube oil drum and other anomolies in the photo.
Nonetheless, a nice addition to the "8569" file.

Well with experience in the media field, I removed that 'clutter' to make the image more 'marketable' :-)

This is the photoshopped version:
