BANGOR DAILY NEWS

HERMON, Maine — The slumping economy, coupled with last year’s shutdown of the Katahdin Paper Co. mill in Millinocket, has had a ripple effect at the Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railroad. Company president Bob Grindrod said that the railroad has been forced to lay off 75 of its 315 employees over the past six months. Although he acknowledged that business activity had slowed, the railroad was in no danger of closing.
