Can someone clarify in which year did the Maine Central discontinue passenger service on the Dover-Foxcroft branch? I have 1930 and 1933. Plus I have sen an old photograph from 1948 purporting to show a mixed Maine Central freight enroute to Dover-Foxcroft. I think the caption to be wrong as I think the train was headed to Harmony, Maine. Any opinions?
Just so happens I have some books handy that might shed some light."The Rail Lines of Northern New England" states passenger service ended ca. 1933. In another book, "Lost Railroads of New England", it says "last passenger trains operated around 1933."
As for the freight, the line was not abandoned until 1985 so that freight picture may be accurate.
