Hi - I'm the creator of the above Grand Trunk website. Not much on the site will help you - even the peninsula plan is very basic - but I do have the 1909 Sanborn maps of the entire Portland Peninsula, showing just about every track, spur and siding, and, of course, buildings. Just email me offlist at tims@sullboat.com and let me know how much you want (just the immediate area around the station or more). If I get the chance I'll stitch them together; otherwise you may need to do it. I use the 1909 maps because they are much better drawn than the 1950 update, which look like they were traced by a drunken sailor, but there are certainly some things missing for later years, for which I use the 1950 maps. I also have the front (streetside) and west end elevations of the Union Station, if you need them. On a final note, if you don't already know about this resource for DIGITIZED Sanborn maps, most state historical societies and larger libraries subscribe to the service for the state they are located in: http://il.proquest.com/products_pq/descriptions/sanborn.shtml .
