North Anson Rail-fan Pictures

North Anson was end of the Madison branch when I was up there. The crew from the Sappi paper mill in Madison, ME would come up when the last shipper at the end of the line needed service. This line once went all the way to Kineo, but the rails have now been removed and inundated by Wyman Lake.
