My layout and engine terminal is based on this very idea. In Portland Maine up until the 80's there was a local terminal railroad call Portland Terminal. It was owned by both the Maine Central and the Boston & Maine. The yard in So. Portland called Rigby was home to PTM (Portland Terminal)'s S1-S3 switchers, along with Maine Central power that was being serviced. The Maine Central had 2 major routes to the north and east begin at this yard. The Boston & Maine ran to the south down to Boston. All three railroads were always present at any given time. <br /> <br />In 1982-87 the Boston and Maine and the Maine Central merged into Guilford Rail System, thus eliminating the need for a terminal railroad between them. <br /> <br />Josh
