Rail-fan Pictures at Rigby Yard
South Portland is the home of Rigby Yard, often refered to as the Rigby Race Track because it was built on the sight of the former Rigby Trotting Park. Three to five switchers call it home and it is a classification yard and origin or destination point for several long distance trains.
