Now that the new City Of Augusta parking garage is built the need for the rails to be buried and used for parking space is not needed. I talked about this with the former Mayor of Augusta. He said that "Maine Eastern could bring up a push/pull system or there is a new switch to turn around with". A lot of new rail has been put down in Augusta during the past 3 years. However most of it downtown is buried. If you look closely you can see some raill crossing Winthrop Street and the signals are still in place. Hopefully some rail comapny will tell the city to clean up thier act so they can bring a train into Augusta, Maine 04330 AGAIN! 35 mm
