Rail-fan Pictures of Bucksport Station

The paper mill that used to operate here is shut down and has been redeveloped into a bio-matter to electrical power recycling plant with no rail service needed. However I was down there one day to see how the redevelopment was going and came across the Bucksport Depot. This Depot was built by the town and the European and North American Railway with the construction of the line in 1874.
