Crossing Spring St
Title:  Crossing Spring St
Description:  Crossing Spring Street at Newport. The westerly camera angle showing the approaching eastbound train is looking at the spot where the east switch for Newport Jct once was. It joined the Dover Foxcroft Branch with the Main Line years ago. Today that line is a railtrail and can be walked or ridden the 29.43 miles all the way to the old Jct with the BAR (The B&A to a Mainer) in Dover Foxcroft. Like many scenes along the old MEC strings of vacant ties are still common here and there. /DL

NM1 across old Rt15
Title:  NM1 across old Rt15
Description:  Google Earth says this road is now Settlers Way. Not that many years ago it was Rt15. This crossing was rather blind to traffic coming over the crest of the hill behind the camera. If the driver wasn't paying attention or if it was winter and slipery things could get interesting quickly. The conductor was flagging all the crossings because of rusty rail..
