A story that ran in the Waterville Sentinel on Monday reported that
Guilford plans to restore the tracks on the Madison Branch northward to
serve a quarry pit in Solon (this line was abandoned between Madison and
Bingham in 1978, and once extended all the way to Rockwood, on the
western side of Moosehead Lake). According to the article, the quarry could
theoretically employ up to 100 people within a few years.
For those of you not familiar with it, the Madison branch leaves the
district 1 Back Road at Oakland and terminates at the Madison Paper
Industries mill in Madison, currently served by a local freight. The
inactive roadbed beyond Madison to the proposed quarry is largely intact, and
includes three nice looking through truss-bridges, and passes through
nice northern-Maine river valley scenery.
