| McADAM / VANCEBORO Located 17 miles west of Magaguadavic Siding mostly straight through the woods is McAdam, a small but important railroad town 84 miles west of Saint John on the Island Central's Montreal mainline. It is an important junction point for the St. Stephen and Shogomoc Subdivisions. Engines and crews for both branches are based in McAdam and mainline trains change crews and are fuelled here. Although the joint ICR-Maine Central trackage ends just across the U.S. border and St. Croix River at Vanceboro, the Guilford freight from Portland usually terminates at McAdam. Vanceboro, Maine is the location of the staging yard for the Maftawamkeag Subdivision's joint mainline ICR-MEC trackage between there and the "Keag" fifty-six miles to the west. A yard crew is kept busy at McAdam sorting cars for the four branch and local freight trains which terminate in McAdam and setting up cuts of cars for the thru trains which make pick ups here. Apart from Saint John, McAdam has the only active engine terminal on the Saint John Division. The center piece of "downtown" McAdam is the railroad station, a replica of the former CPR station at Penticton, B.C. on the Former Kettle Valley Railway. The rail fan can expect to find something moving in McAdam yard all hours of the day or night. |
