Presque Isle Airport trackage

Looking in the area by the Presque Isle Airport I see a small branch line with several industrial sidings along it. Does anyone have any info on it such as branch name and some of the customers etc?

Thanks for any help!

Does anyone know the name and mile post numbers of the siding just below Muskrat Farm Road that serves the quarry there? Have not seen it listed on the B & A yard and siding diagram. Thanks

Newark is rough for sure. But they have started cleaning up the platform area. The one closest to the station has had its brick water blasted and the overheads cleaned and painted. Definitely an improvement for an old classic.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know they were junkers in that they looked better than some of the cars Amtrak runs this time of year. The three double decker's that were being "rewrapped" looked great.

I recently counted 18 MBTA coaches sitting at the Quonset Point Industrial Park in Rhode Island. The 15 single level coaches have been here for a month or more. There are also three double decker coaches getting "rewrapped" at the Sea View RR shop. How can the T claim a equipment shortage ...
