The B&P interchanged with the L&NE at three locations up to about  1949, 
when the Bangor interchange went away, leaving Portland and Bath.  So  yes, 
there was a fair amount depending on the season, at Portland.  I would  
imagine most of the Portland interchange was for north bound traffic. My guess  
would be anywhere from 6 to 20 cars a day, 6 days a week.  I'll let are  B&P 
expert Bob Stafford talk about this a little more. Am I close  Bob?

Bob  (or anyone):

Any idea how much interchange there was between the  DL&W and L&NE at
Portland?  I am thinking not a lot but would  be interested to see if I am
wrong.
