company to be known as the Bangor
Terminal Railway Co., with $50, 900 capital
stock, the object OF which is to construct
a railroad to connect Bangor with the
Northern Maine Seaport railroad. The
proposed line is to extend from point of
connection with the Seaport railroad be-
tween the Fuller road and Hermon
Junction to point in Bangor near Maple
wood park, a distance of about six miles.
When the B & AS Seaport line was begun
committee of Bangor business men
asked that branch be constructed to
Bangor, but the B. & A. officials replied
that they could not build into Bangor, as it
would be an invasion of the Maine Central
territory. The same committee waited
upon the Maine Central authorities, ask
ing that the Seaport be given trackage
rights from Hermon Junction to Bangor,
but the Maine Central declined to grant
the request The business men then
adopted the only course remaining by
which to get what they desired, apd
formed company to build railroad of
their own.
