  • Maine Rail-Trail Plan 2020-2030
    MAINE RAIL-TRAIL PLAN 2020-2030 A Vision for Regional Train and Trail Connectivity Maine Trails Coalition www.mainetrailscoalition.org PO Box 1128 Bath, ME 04530 Release 1 (October 2020) Maine Rail-Trail Plan 2020-2030 Vision An active transportation network that preserves an inter-urban train corridor, while creating healthy and connected communities throughout the state of Maine through a biking, walking and running rail-trail system. Rail-Trail Network The Maine Rail-Trail Plan calls for the construction of thirteen specific rail-trail projects over the next decade, and at least five prospective projects for development over the following decade. Each of these projects connects with, extends, and regionalizes an existing multi-use trail infrastructure. Collectively, these eighteen projects would add roughly 250 miles of inter-connected off-road trails, transforming the Maine communities they serve. Train Service The Maine Rail-Trail Plan calls for the continuing preservation and maintenance of a separate and active rail corridor that can be used to extend future Amtrak, commuter train, and/or freight service from Boston through Maine's largest population centers in Biddeford-Saco, Portland, Brunswick, Lewiston-Auburn, Waterville, and Bangor; and with potential continuing service to Montreal and the VIA Rail Canada network. Release 1 This is the first release of this document and necessarily has omissions that should be incorporated in the plan as its vision takes shape. It is a “living” document that we plan to refine over time in consultation with local communities, regional authorities, government agencies, and the many interest groups concerned with rails and trails throughout Maine.

  • K. Historical and Archaeological Resources
    K. HISTORICAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES 1. Purpose Historical and archaeological resources are important not only for their role in Bucksport’s history, but also for their present-day value. Historic buildings and sites add to the town’s quality of life and their presence helps maintain property values. The purpose of this section is: a. to present a brief history of the town; b. to describe Bucksport’s historical and archaeological resources; c. to assess the threats to these resources; and d. to assess the effectiveness of existing measures to protect and preserve these resources. 2. Key Findings and Issues While there were no properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993, there were nine such properties listed in 2001. In 2000 the Maine Historic Preservation Commission conducted a survey of village area to assess the potential of creating an historic district. A comprehensive survey has not been done of other parts of town. 3. Historical Background Long before Europeans discovered the coast of Maine, Indians were living in this area. Evidence of them has been found in the form of shell heaps in many coastal towns, including Deer Isle, Brooksville, and Castine. Indian burial grounds have been excavated near Bucksport on the northern side of Alamoosook Lake and along the Narramissic River. Historians speculate that Andre Thevit, a Catholic priest from France, sailed in Penobscot Bay in 1556, but the extent of his voyage is not known. The first Englishman to visit the area was Martin Pring in 1603. The Frenchman, Samuel de Champlain, followed him in 1604.

  • 2011 Downeaster Expansion Overview
    DOWNEASTER EXPANSION PROJECT OVERVIEW BACKGROUND The Amtrak Downeaster makes five daily round trips between Boston and Portland, serving 10 communities in three states along its 116-mile corridor. The Boston to Portland service has been in operation since December 2001. Included in the original plan for the Downeaster service, but not possible until now, was the extension of service 30 miles beyond Portland to Freeport and Brunswick. Expansion of service to Brunswick is important because it will provide more mobility to Maine residents, increase tourism, support the redevelopment of the Brunswick Naval Air Station (BNAS) and provide a connection to the state owned Rockland Branch, which extends 58 miles from Brunswick to Rockland, the heart of mid-coast Maine. Although a capital plan to upgrade the freight line between Portland and Brunswick to passenger standards had been in place for years, the lack of capital funding to complete the project remained a barrier until spring 2009 when the High Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) Grant Program was announced. Administered by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), the HSIPR grant program made $8 billion available as a “down payment” on investment in our nation’s passenger rail system through a national competitive application process. The Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority (NNEPRA) submi�ed an application for the Downeaster Expansion Project, and was awarded $35 million. Under the leadership of Governor John Baldacci, the State of Maine agreed to provide the remaining funds (approximately $3 million) to complete the project. The Downeaster Expansion Construction Project includes the rehabilitation of approximately 27 miles of track between Portland and Brunswick owned by Pan Am Railways, and approximately 1.2 miles of track in Brunswick owned by the MaineDOT.
