I believe that being listed on the register makes it a lot harder to tear down a building, but it can still be done with enough political or financial pull (eg. Wal-Mart flattening Dixmont State Hospital, listed on the register November 28, 1980).

MCS was supposed to be demolished in 2009 using federal stimulus money.

Funny... the architect of BCT, Alfred T. Fellheimer (of Fellheimer & Wagner) also worked for Reed & Stem, who was one of the two architectural firms for MCS. Hard to say if he was involved with MCS, but it does not show up as one of his projects at Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.or...lheimer_&_Wagner

Hey John, I bet these were used in the Baggage Subway. To my guess these baggage carts were made in the 1960s. For some reason when the building closed the baggage carts ended up the the parking garage. Each of the 7 platforms had a ramp that led to to the Baggage Subway so the Electric Baggage Handler can take luggage to the baggage car. I have a picture of an electric baggage handler that I found in the Railway Express building on the Terminal grounds. It was taken awhile back ago and I heard it was moved to a saftey garage in the building. The link to the photo I took of the baggage handler is on the bottom of this comment.

Thanks Motts for the great gallery. I've been on this site since January 2006 (I think). I have to say this site gets better and better. I have also seen your work get better and better. You are amazing and keep up the great work.
