The railroad station in Bridgton, located at the end of Depot Street on the current site of Memorial Middle School, served the narrow gauge Bridgton & Saco River Railroad. The line began running in 1883, connecting Bridgton, and later Harrison, to the standard gauge Maine Central in Hiram. It operated until 1941, when it was shut down and the rail was sold for scrap.
