Yet, when the last page turned on 2020, our tale didn’t end with happily-ever-after; nor did it conclude as a tragedy. Instead, 2020’s narrative featured everyday heroes, brandishing their perseverance and ingenuity to fight common foes — the villain Pandemic and its sidekick Recession. Just two months into a promising new year, the rogue novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) appeared on scene, soon spreading throughout the land.

MaineDOT Work Plan Calendar Years 2019-2020-2021 February 2019 February 21, 2019 MaineDOT Customers and Partners: On behalf of the 2,000 valued employees of the Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT), I am privileged to present this 2019 Edition of our Work Plan for the three Calendar Years 2019, 2020 and 2021. Implementation of this plan allows us to achieve our mission of responsibly providing our customers with the safest and most reliable transportation system possible, given available resources. Like all recent editions, this Work Plan includes all capital projects and programs, maintenance and operations activities, planning initiatives, and administrative functions. This plan contains 2,193 individual work items with a total value of $2.44 billion, consisting principally of work to be delivered or coordinated through MaineDOT, but also including funding and work delivered by other transportation agencies that receive federal funds directly including airports and transit agencies. Although I have the pleasure of presenting this plan, it is really the product of staff efforts dating back to the summer of last year.

All contents © 2018 and 2019 by Kalmbach Media Co., Wau kesha, Wis. JANUARY 2019 THROUGH DECEMBER 2019 – 862 PAGES HOW TO USE THIS INDEX: Feature material has been indexed three or more times—once by the title under which it was published, again under the author’s last name, and finally under one or more of the subject categories or railroads. Photographs standing alone are indexed (usually by railroad), but photo graphs within a feature article are not separately indexed. Brief news items are indexed under the appropriate railroad and/or category; news stories are indexed under the appro- priate railroad and/or category and under the author’s last name. Most references to people are indexed under the company with which they are easily identified; if there is no easy identification, they may be indexed under the person’s last name (for deaths, see “Obi t uaries”). Maps, museums, radio frequencies, railroad historical societies, rosters of locomotives and equipment, product reviews, and stations are indexed under these categories. Items from countries other than the U.S. and Canada are indexed under the appropriate country.
