Proposed Passenger Train Service Study Between Brunswick & Bangor In The Works
A proposal to conduct a feasibility study on extending passenger rail service from Brunswick through Augusta and Waterville and then to Bangor, was recently presented to the Maine Legislature by Senator Joe Baldacci of Penobscot County.
Tonight, Bangor s Municipal Operations Committee will take into consideration putting the City’s endorsement behind passage of LD 227, according to a post on Baldacci s Facebook page.
The last time a passenger train pulled into the old Bangor Union Station where the Penobscot Plaza now stands was back in early 1961. The station was served by both Bangor & Aroostook Railroad and Maine Central Railroad.
