Finally a town that's railfan friendly: Bangor, Maine
A side road on the far west side of Bangor has this street sign. I go down it. In about a mile I find a roundhouse!!!!
But no track and certainly no rail cars. I can't go around and see if there still is a turntable. A heavy construction firm, dump trucks and the like, is using it. Well, it's recycled.
It was a Maine Central roundhouse and I could find but remnants of the major yard that went with it.
I think the new looking street sign postdates the diesel shop! Oh and the photo is straight! Well the Bangor Street Department had a good heart!
