The freight house in the second picture still stands in Springvale, Maine. It has been utilized by many varied businesses, but is still in good shape. The station was moved and is now a convenience store. Not much is wasted in Maine, although it's a miracle anything survived the blight of Federal "urban renewal" in the 60s and 70s, which replaced well-built classic structures with trashy strip malls and gas stations.
