Welcome to Southern Maine Rail Pics

Leeds

Libby's Pit refers to the gravel pit on Blue Rock Rd., now owned by Pike Industries. It does not ship by rail any more but a small maintenance siding retained the name until recently. A section of Leeds dips into Leeds Junction, and a feed mill at North Leeds provides local egg farmers their feed. This feed mill does receive by rail.
