Saco/Old Orchard Area

Hi

What are the trains symbol ( Pan Am) going through on a daily basis. I was in the area recently, but no clues regarding trains operations.

Thanks

Thanks. I saw one eastbound going by Ocean Park on last Wednesday morning around 0830. What are the radio freqs in the area?

Radio frequencies for Guilford at Old Orchard (District #2) are 161.160 (Dispatcher) and 161.520 (train). When you have a few minutes, check out Chuck Petlick's excellent railfan info site below.

Seems like they've been running the switcher from Rigby out to Biddeford on fairly regular basis as well, ususally around midday.

Thanks again folks. Appreciated.

There's a new customer in Biddeford just south of the Nissen spot, a big baby blue warehouse getting hoppers, maybe plastic pellets.

That is "Correct Deck", and NOT exactly a "new customer".. Siding went in several years ago, but took a while to start seeing cars. I have even seen bulkead flats at the far end of the plant, that were used to ship OUT the finished lumber products. but doesn't seem to be a regular thing.

Yes, that is a type of "plastic" that is used to 'treat the lumber".
