The track that led South was narrow gauge. The track to Portland was standard gauge. The third track had three rails, to support both gauges. This track was used to transfer cargo between the two types of trains. Of course!
It's called the sidetrack. It was there until about four years ago. The railroad would leave oil tankers there on the sidetrack right there in town. You can see those old tracks in the old Railroad Street picture
I hope you're not trying to sidetrack us again, Lilly.
