Blake/New Gloucester East

Blake is the east end of a siding in New Gloucester on rte 231 that has little around it, but is one of the few places that two trains can meet. It's at 557 Intervale Rd, New Gloucester, ME 04260 43.956231, -70.268905. The New Gloucester Village Store is one of those mom & pop country stores and serves some good food.
