Rail-fan Pictures of Saco Station
There is no siding at the Saco Station, that's about a half mile away near Wood Avenue. If a local freight is in town they will likely be at the CHS Propane terminal, at 24 Pomerleau Street, Biddeford or over on Industrial Park Road in Saco. The pictures here are only of the new Saco Amtrak Station.
