Pequest Engineering, who owns the Great Meadows Station and Freight House, has been doing some nice renovations. The freight house has been recently painted and appears to have a new roof. A maintainer's shanty has also been painted, and the old Bangor and Aroostook car, which was in a really dilapidated state, is now undergoing repair. The owner, Tom Bodlosky, has already done an excellent job of keeping the station in great shape. He fought hard with Conrail to keep some of the rails at the station as well.

Nice to see these stations in good shape, thanks for sharing.

Interesting how LHR depots look amazingly like NYC Putnam Division depots. Must have ordered the same "kit" back in the 1880s!
