Trestle at WiscassetThis photo was taken at the south end of the Wiscasset Upper Yard, looking South. You can see the trestle posts that are sticking up out of the water. The peice of land that comes towards the treslte posts is where the two foot gauge railroad used to go. The platform started about ten feet after the treslte stopped at the land. Once at the station, the two foot gauge tracks then crossed the Maine Central railroad, now the Maine Eastern. Mile post zero used to be at the diamond of the Maine Central tracks. This is where they started measuring the two foot gauge railroad from Wiscasset all the way to Albion, 44 miles away.
