Largest NE Bridge Steel Fabricator to Begin Shipping by Rail

There was a certain excitable and fortunately former D-3 TOM of years past who just might have done that.

A gondola and a flatcar are now visible near the front of the property by the Broadway entrance, it might be the very end of the spur. Can't recall ever seeing cars right there before...

Sounds like MoW prep and staging.

In the Maine State Grant article it mentioned extending the Saco Industrial to reach Casco Bay Trucking. Is this the location? Will Casco Bay Steel also be able to use rail?

That track extension was finished late last year.Casco bay is using it now.

If that's the parcel I think it is, then the two businesses are right next door to each other and the extension from end-of-track would cross Casco Bay Transportation's driveway to get to Casco Bay Steel. It's a two-for-one job to give them both their own switches off a 500+ ft. extension of new stick.

According to google maps, this is on the other end. There was an old siding there that went to a warehouse. Siding has been OOS for years. Casco Bay Trucking is not Casco Bay Steel. Could this be a new old transload facility again?

The address did not pull up correctly - yes on the other end, the very end of the Saco Industrial. The article says it's being extended to Casco Bay Transportation, on left, and Casco Bay Steel on the right. It looks like Casco Bay Steel is currently unloading in the lot further south? Did the track get extended into both properties? I don't see any remnants of a previous track, I think this is all new.

Also who is the lumber company with the center beam spotted on the branch? That might pose a problem with active customers to the north lol.

The line was extended 1500 ft into Casco Bay Trans lot.Casco Bay Steel unloads from there now.

The wood company is Boise,the old Wood Structures.They still get rail service.

Thanks again Newpy. I haven't been down in there for a few years. Guess I will have to swing in again soon.

I've never been there - surveying all via Google Maps lol. Just interested in any customer moving to rail.

Is there a CP at the Saco Industrial for movements onto-off from it? CPF AR?

AR is just a Electric lock switch.It used to be part of an interlocking a loooong time ago.
