Bishop Street, Portland Rail-fan Pictures

Only a few pieces of the former Portland and Rochester Railroad still survive, and the one from Deering Junction to Westbrook now serves only a single lumber-yard off Warren Ave and a chemicals dealer. One of the Portland Switchers will make the run by backing down from the run-around track on the west side of Deering Junction. The GPS coordinates for the Bishop St yard are 43°41'16.8"N 70°17'48.9"W.
