Rail-fan Pictures at Thorndike Station

The old depot at Thorndike Station is long gone so this shed now holds the signs and serves as the station marker for Thorndike. The normal operation that runs out of here is the rail bike operations. There is no engine noise and no hills to climb, just an easy pedal through the Maine countryside.

I'll remind you that a station is any marked point identified on the railroads schedule or timetable.
