BRUNSWICK — A second public forum on a proposed Downeaster train layover and maintenance facility in town will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday in the City Council chamber, Brunswick Station, 16 Station Ave.
The meeting will be hosted by state Sen. Stan Gerzofsky, D-Brunswick, and will include representatives of the Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority and the Maine Department of Transportation.
The two agencies are preparing to extend Amtrak service north of Portland, with stops in Freeport and Brunswick, in late 2012.
Neighbors opposed the initial site selected for the layover facility, on a narrow strip of land amid residential neighborhoods off Route 1 in West Brunswick.
Now, other sites are being considered, including one on Farley Road in East Brunswick.
