I stopped and ate lunch here on my way to Canada in June... I saw an unmarked green engine.. I took two pictures and asked the waitress at lunch... "what railroad was that?" she said Bangor & Aroostook... what RR served Jackman before? Thanks.

Replace the 57 with the Green Line!!! The people demand more transit, more new routes

From this point backwards:
Present: Montreal, maine & Atlantic Railroad
Previous: Canadian American R.R. (CDAC) owned by Ironroad Railways also prior owners of the Bangor & Aroostook R.R.
Previous: Canadian Pacific Railroad

To be technically accurate, I'd add "Canadian Atlantic Railway" which was formed by CPR in 1988 as a transition company in preparation for CPRs spinoff of the line to CDAC.

That where U.S.Customs checks all eastbound trains.I've been there watching him.He sits in a chair near the tracks with both a clipboard with full train info and a LARGE Hammer,He banged the empties and listened to the sound,to see if anyone inside.Watch for the customs truck it tells you a train will be there soon.
