Rail-fan Pictures at Congress St
When waiting for a train in the Congress St. area it's a good idea not to wait in front of the Cumberland County Jail and Sheriffs offices so that they don't think you might be waiting to pick up an escapee. Instead wait behind the shopping center at 290 St John St., Portland, ME 04102, 43.653002, -70.280788 CPF 195 or mp 195.34.
