Mountain Jct

Mountain Junction is where the Mountain Branch turns left from the freight main line. It used to go all the way to St Johnsbury VT. Recently there have been efforts to return some freight service up the line as far as Fryburg. You can find Mountain Jct. at the end of Ogdensburg St., Portland, ME 04102, 43.649173, -70.280327 or just up the line from Congress St. at CPF 196 or mp 196.72.
