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
