I am writing to support converting the Berlin Subdivision/St. Lawrence and Atlantic rail corridor to a multi-use trail linking Portland and Auburn. Passenger rail to Auburn would not be an alternative, since this line does not connect to the Portland Transportation Center/Amtrak Downeaster and so would get little potential use. People should contact their state representatives, since they will ultimately decide the fate of this corridor. Information about the plans can be found at maine.gov/mdot/ofps. ~ Joe Pelliccia, Auburn
