A piece of history is being restored to its original glory in Brewer.
The railroad tug "Saturn" is one of only a handful of its kind left in the world.
And as Amy Erickson tells us, a man from Winterport has his hands full giving it a makeover.
<"it's a labor of love. you've gotta be foolish to do this."

Back in 2002, he purchased this historic tug, called "saturn," from Maine Maritime Academy.
At 102 years old, she has quite a history.
