Portland, Maine, serves as the anchor for a robust economic driver for the region
Reactivation of State owned rail asset preserves a future option for rail services by beneficially and incrementally restarting rail operations today on a key corridor along I295.
Why Rail?
Benefits of Rail Development are Numerous to Maine's Economy
- Lower cost per ton-mile than trucks (4 trucks to 1 rail car)
- Reduced emissions vs. trucking
- Scalable with business growth & future development
