From Seacoastonliine: "The $11.8 million project involves replacing the station’s existing high-level boarding platform, building a second boarding platform on the other side of the tracks, and connecting the two with an overhead pedestrian bridge.

Once complete, Amtrak Downeaster trains arriving at the station from opposing directions will be able to board passengers and let them off at the same time.

The new platform and the added track capacity will support an additional Downeaster train that will operate between Brunswick and Wells each morning. The train’s schedule will be designed to serve commuters traveling to and from the Greater Portland Region."

Some five years ago, TrainRidersNE interviewed NNEPRA Executive Director Patricia Quinn about the project. Major improvements take time - the result will be appreciated by passengers and crews alike.
