On Monday May 14th 2012, the final construction elements of the Amtrak Downeaster extension to Freeport and Brunswick will be completed with ribbon cuttings at the Freeport and Brunswick rail platforms. CarFree Maine has been documenting the process since before funding was secured through Pres. Obama’s Stimulus Act in 2008. This slideshow follows the project from its planning stages in 2005 to the present. Images from the official unveiling will be added as they occur on Monday May 14th 2012.
