The Maine Central Railroad Company (reporting mark MEC) was a U. S. Class I railroad in central and southern Maine. It was chartered in 1856 and began operations in 1862. By 1884, Maine Central was the longest railroad in New England. Maine Central had expanded to 1,358 miles (2,185 km) when the United States Railroad Administration assumed control in 1917. The main line extended from South Portland, Maine, east to the Canada–United States border with New Brunswick, and a Mountain Division extended west from Portland to St. Johnsbury, Vermont and north into Quebec. The main line was double track from South Portland to Royal Junction, where it split into a "lower road" through Brunswick and Augusta and a "back road" through Lewiston, which converged at Waterville into single track to Bangor

  • Le chemin de fer du Maine Central (sigle AAR: MEC) était un chemin de fer américain de classe I du sud du Maine. Il fut créé en 1856 et commença ses opérations en 1862. Il exploitait une ligne principale entre South Portland, Maine et la frontière canadienne avec le Nouveau-Brunswick à l'est, quant à sa Mountain Division, elle desservait le Vermont à l'ouest, et le Québec au nord. Après un développement important jusqu'à la Première Guerre mondiale, le réseau s'affaiblit et change de mains plusieurs fois au cours du XXe siècle. Une partie des lignes est encore exploitée de nos jours par l'entreprise Pan Am Railways. (fr)
