Hiram

Mountain Division, Hiram

The Maine Central Mountain Division has not faired as bad as the Lower Road. The Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority (NNEPRA) has chosen it for the location of the Portland Amtrak Station, and there has been renewed interest in freight operations.

On one trip through Hiram I found this caboose there.
