Amtrak's Downeaster serves Boston's North Station from Brunswick, with its Maine stops being in Freeport, Portland, Old Orchard Beach, Saco and Wells. In 2024, discussions began once more to bring passenger rail service to central Maine, with Lewiston, Waterville and Bangor potentially being served.
The train platform was constructed in 2001, and the station building was constructed in 2008 and opened in 2009. The station, at 138 Main Street, is owned by the City of Saco. [3] The station is notable for being the first green design train station in the U.S.
METRO, along with the Biddeford-Saco-Old Orchard Beach Transit, participates in a regional automated fare collection system known as DiriGo Pass. This system uses the UMO Pass platform developed by Cubic. Monthly, daily, and ten-ride paper passes have been phased out, and are no longer accepted.
The line north of Portland to Brunswick was once part of the Maine Central Railroad. If the Downeaster were to run solely on the Haverhill Line, it would conflict with the local commuter rail service on a largely single-tracked rail line, since the Amtrak train makes no stops between Woburn and Haverhill.
