Bad news travels slow ?
They say everything is slower in Maine. The Madison Branch of the Maine Central lived up to that pace with a 5 mph speed limit. With only one customer on the line for years there was no big incentive to fix the track. Especially with the customer being a paper mill. It seems like the right choice as only a couple years after service on the branch stopped the announcement came today the mill will close in May 2016. On a happier day in March of 2005 Springfield Terminal GP-9 # 62, GP-7 # 15 slowly cross the Kennebec River at Norridgewock, ME on their way to Madison.
