4. Fixtures. There are two ways in which a secured party may file a financing statement to perfect a security interest in goods that are or are to become fixtures. It may file in the Article 9 records, as with most other goods. See subsection (a)(2)[Maine cite subsection (1), paragraph (b)]. Or it may file the financing statement as a "fixture filing," defined in Section 9-102 [Maine cite section 9-1102], in the office in which a record of a mortgage on the related real property would be filed. See subsection(a)(1)(B) [Maine cite subsection (1), paragraph (a), subparagraph (ii)].

5. Transmitting Utilities. The usual filing rules do not apply well for a transmitting utility (defined in Section 9-102) [Maine cite section 9-1102]. Many preUCC statutes provided special filing rules for railroads and in some cases for other public utilities, to avoid the requirements for filing with legal descriptions in every county in which such debtors had property. Former Section 9-401(5) recreated and broadened these provisions, and subsection (b) [Maine cite subsection (2)] follows this approach. The nature of the debtor will inform persons searching the record as to where to make a search.
