Major upgrade of 75 miles of rail will serve Maine’s resurgent paper industry

July 12, 2019

Pan Am Railways is matching a $17.5 million federal grant in the $35.5 million project to upgrade its main line in southern and central Maine.

A Pan Am Railways engine pulls railroad cars over a trestle as cars pass below on Front Street in Waterville. The railway and state Department of Transportation are embarking on a $35 million upgrade of the freight line to improve safety and enhance business opportunities, especially with Maine’s resurgent paper industry. David Leaming/Morning Sentinel
