There are 2 photos on page 126 of George Melvin's book "Maine Central in Color" that documents the railroad scene from the movie. The first photo shows 44 tonner #11 coupled to the 519 with business car 333. The other shows the production crew preparing 333 for the movie shoot. The location was listed as Key Street in Eastport.
In Michael Zimmermann's book on the Washington County Railroad he states that the year 1904 was the first time that FDR and Eleanor travelled by train to Eastport to reach Campobello Island. I think FDR made only one trip to Campobello after becoming president and he came by way of a US Navy ship. The story is that the FDR helped pilot the ship near Lubec and Campobello. He was an avid sailor and knew the waters of the area well.
