Maine Commuter Rail
- Pertaining to all railroading subjects, past and present, in New England
The Legislature may have approved the study, but the Auburn City Council refused to put up their $10,000 share so there's some regrouping going on.

Champlain Flyer Part 2....AFAIK, the commuter rail vision touted by Maine Rail Group is that there is believed to be a viable market for LA->Portland commuter rail. From public comments I've heard, a vision for development opportunities in the area of the stations is part of that.

IMHO Lewiston should get a stop, but no soup for Auburn unless they put some skin in the game!
