Viewing Album:  Riverview Road's North Crossing at South Gardiner, Me
 
By:David Larrabee
Dates:10/2/2021 - 10/2/2021
Album Info:Sometimes you just have to get out of the car and take a closer look! A drive down Rt24 supplied a number of these moments. The old MEC lower road main has been maintained by the State of Maine since PAR abandoned the line decades ago. The State DOT has left all the signals in place. They are not standing the test of time very well or maybe they are. You be the judge. The affects of time and Maine weather sure catch the eye.... !! /DL
