Freshest Damages After Last Week's Rains
Heavy rains caused wide freshets across the state and a loss of property. The Maine Central railroad bridge between Brunswick and Topsham on the Lewiston division was swept away, delaying service until a temporary bridge could be built. The old bridge’s replacement plans were disrupted, costing the railroad thousands and delaying trains.
