That mill used to be a lot bigger. There was an actual saw mill and the whole 9 yards. I used to work there until the end of 2002. The saw mill portion burned down in 2003 i believe, only leaving the planner mill standing.

Did the Calais branch start there?

Is there maybe even a slight chance it could reopen?

Just watched video on youtube of CMQ & MNR both southbound from Millinoket to Brownville jct. I was wondering where does the traffic CMQ hauls south come from? Is it interchanged with MNR in Millinoket or do they still have customers they serve up that way? If not, why does CMQ bother to go up t...

Where in Lincoln would this happen if it happens? At the mill site? What kind of traffic would that create inbound and/or outbound? Boxcars or Containers or anything else.

I understand that cars get leased out to different roads. I'm not sure where exactly they getbtge products either as I was there the other day and there was 1 IANR and 1 GATX Boxcar behind the building.
