FYI:
Finger Lakes Railway is taking over operation of the Rockland Branch, a state-owned branch line that runs from Brunswick, Maine to Rockland, Maine. This branch was originally owned by the Maine Central Railroad and has been owned by the Maine Department of Transportation since the late 1980s. During that time it has been operated by several companies: Maine Coast Railroad, Safe Handling, Maine Eastern Railroad (a subsidiary of Morristown & Erie Railway), Central Maine & Quebec Railway, and most recently Canadian Pacific Railway. FGLK is taking over the contract from CP, and will be operating the branch under the Midcoast Rail Service name.
FGLK B23-7 locomotives 2308 and 2310 will be heading up to Maine soon. [Thanks for RAILROAD.NET member CN9634 for sharing this info.]
