Station looking east
Title:  Station looking east
Description:  Station at Etna, Maine C1910 from an old Picture Post Card. This is single track today. A geographic search on this archive will bring up recent photographs of PAR freight activity at this location. Today the old MEC granite Mile Post on this tangent says 77 PAR’s notation indexed to Mattawamkeag. When this photograph was taken the MP was P118/V133 for Portland and Vanceboro respectivly. This looks to be an east looking view. Carmel would be the next station with Northern Maine Jct and Bangor beyond. /DL
