RAILROADS
The Bangor & Piscataquis railroad was operating between Oldtown and Dover via South Lagrange in 1869. Reliable his- tory states that it was completed into Guilford late in 1871, to Monson Jct. (Abbot) in 1875, to Blanchard in 1877 and thence to Greenville Jct. in 1884. Originally, it appears to have been built "broad guage" of five feet and six inches wide, but in 1877 was changed to standard guage of four feet and eight and a half inches. The Bangor & Aroostook R. R. Co. was organ- ized Feb. 17, 1891, and then took over the old B. & P., which then included the tracks from Oldtown to Greenville via South Lagrange, and the branch from Milo Jct. (now Derby) to Katahdin Iron Works.
In the old days of the B. & P. it seems to have been the cus- tom of the railroad management to appoint as Station Agents along its line a prominent business man of the town, and so from the time that the railroad commenced to operate in Guilford, and until April 1, 1894, Mr. Henry Douglass was the Station Agent at Guilford. He usually hired some local man to do the routine work, as his services were of more value in other directions. Albion W. Ellis, William M. Beal and Howard W. Hussey were some of the men who did station work for Mr. Douglass. There were no telegraph instruments in the station, but there was a set in the H. Douglass store, and David Pearson, a clerk, did what telegraph work there was done.
There was no telephone system in town, and so if any one including the Agent himself wanted any information as to the whereabouts of a train, he had to get it from the Douglass store the best way he could. Frank W. Keniston took charge of the station from April 1, 1894 until January 1919, and at the very first moved the telegraph instruments to the railroad station. The next permanent Agent was Aubrey G. Purdy and he re- mained until late in December 1932, when he was promoted to Supervisory Agent at Millinocket. He died there very suddenly in May 1933. Mr. Keniston returned to Guilford as Agent Jan. 4, 1933 and remained until he voluntarily retired March 31, 1939. In April of that year Daniel G. Currie took the Guilford station and in October 1942 is still on the job. Through the years until about 1932 there was an early morning and late afternoon passenger train in each direction through Guilford, besides a local freight train each way. Until the Maine Central built their line into Rockwood the summer business at Kineo was taken care of by a train (the best on the road at that time) that passed down through Guilford about 12:45 P.M., and returned from Boston
94
GUILFORD BIOGRAPHIES
connections about four P.M. This train made no regular stops between Dover and Greenville except at Guilford. Until long after 1900 the night train from Bangor was due as early as 6.15 on some schedules, to as late as 7.45 on others, and before the advent of the automobile and moving pictures, a sizeable crowd was on hand practically every night to "see the cars come in."
Guilford people were liberal travelers, so the united group of passengers and sight-seers made the Guilford station area the busiest place in town in the evening.
Until the late nineties, all locomotives on this branch were fueled with hard wood. At certain stations there were sheds filled with wood for engine fuel and passenger car heating, and Guilford was one of those places. The long wood shed stood on the South side of the main line about opposite the old Stevens homestead (now George Rogers place). Also there was a wood- en water-tank about mid-way of the wood shed, and the water was pumped into the tank from the brook back of the Rogers house, by windmill power. During this period of time the rail- road along Water street was on the same grade as the highway, and the highway itself was considerably lower than it is now; so there was a real sag in both the highway and the railroad track between the lower end of the woolen mill and the River street crossing. In those days the Water Street sidewalk was on the south side of the street next to the railroad tracks; not a very desirable situation. Later, the bank along the north side of the street was cut back and the sidewalk changed to that side of the street.
Until 1906 there were two large storehouses, owned by H. Douglass Co. and M. & J. Hudson respectively ; also two sets of dwellings on the "flat-iron" lot west of the station. One dwell- ing was the house now occupied by Guy K. Hayden; the other is the Samuel Bodfish house and ell.
Some years ago the storehouses were moved over on Blaine Avenue. One was torn down a few years ago, and the other one has been taken down this summer. The railroad paid a good price for the land, intending to build a modern station and yard, but because of changing conditions those improvements did not materialize.
