The Fairfield Journal says there IS a
movement to have the proposed new
railroad from the Canada border to Wis
casset take different route from the one
projected The Journal says: at is pro-
posed to let the line pass down over the
Somerset road to Norridgewock and then
switch off to Skowhegan. The distance
across would be but five miles, and then
pass over the Maine Central road to Fair
field. and there cross the river and pro-
coed on an almost direct line to the sea.
The proposed road would pass through
Winslow, Vassalboro. China, Windsor,
Whilefield and Alma to Wiscasset.
