Bangor Union Station

In 1961, the railroads ended service to the station, which was then demolished to avoid an annual property tax of $10,788 on an assessed valuation of $372,000.

The station with a clock tower on the front was built of buff-colored brick with brownstone trimmings and base.

The 130-foot (40 m) clock tower was capped with a steeply peaked roof above an open octagonal cupola.

[1] The station was built on the west bank of the Penobscot River estuary, just upstream of the confluence with Kenduskeag Stream.

Maine Central Eastern Division branch line trains to Calais, Bar Harbor, or Bucksport required backing moves to cross the Penobscot River bridge approach upstream of the station.
