Are there any photos of Boston & Maine trains at or passing the old Wells Beach train station aside from the stereotypical postcard one? I can't seem to find any at all. Any info is much appreciated.

Aside from this (which is probably the one you're referring to), I haven't seen any on the web, or in Wells history books for that matter.

I also found this, but I can't tell if the dark blob on the left is a train/locomotive on another set of tracks, or just trees...

Thanks for I've never seen that second picture before. Do you think I'd have better luck finding photos in the Guilford/Pan Am era?

Oh yes, there are quite a few photos on the web of Guilford/Pan Am/Amtrak passing the station. It's the vintage stuff that's really difficult to find.

Here are a few of the ones I found on the NERAIL Photo Archive:

NMED (Northern Maine Junction to East Deerfield)

Amtrak 696

Amtrak 683 meeting 684

another NMED

WAED (Waterville to East Deerfield) with B&M "Triple Three"

unknown westbound freight

a view of the station as it appeared in 2003

and how it looked in 2007

Thanks! Those are some great photos! Yeah, upon searching I have found alot from the 90s to now. When was the old freight house actually demolished?

I can't remember exactly, but I want to say 2004...?
