TRAIN OF THOUGHT: The fortunes of
many towns in Maine's interior have
ebbed and flowed with the railroads that
connect Canada with the Atlantic ports.
The village of Brownville Junction grew
up around the rail yard shown here. Now
operated by Canadian Pacific, the rail
hub sits on the shortest route between
eastern Canada and principal markets
in the U.S.
SLOW ROAD: The more leisurely route
across the Piscataqua River is the Sarah
Mildred Long Bridge, carrying motor
vehicles on the upper level and rail cargo
below. Supported by four 200-foot-tall
precast concrete towers, the current $159
million structure opened in 2018, replacing
a bridge built in 1940, according to the
Maine Department of Transportation.
The bridge's namesake served for half
a century on the Maine-New Hampshire
bridge management authority.
