Pan Am Railways has a subsidiary in which former US Class I railroad in Maine?
Maine Central Railroad Company
Title: New York State Railways
Passage: New York State Railways was a subsidiary of the New York Central Railroad that controlled several large city streetcar and electric interurban systems in upstate New York.  It included the city transit lines in Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, Oneida and Rome, plus various interurban lines connecting those cities.  New York State Railways also held a 50% interest in the Schenectady Railway Company, but it remained a separate independent operation.  The New York Central took control of the Rochester Railway Company, the Rochester and Eastern Rapid Railway and the Rochester and Sodus Bay Railway in 1905, and the Mohawk Valley Company was formed by the railroad to manage these new acquisitions.  New York State Railways was formed in 1909 when the properties controlled by the Mohawk Valley Company were merged.  In 1912 it added the Rochester and Suburban Railway, the Syracuse Rapid Transit Railway, the Oneida Railway, and the Utica and Mohawk Valley Railway.  The New York Central Railroad was interested in acquiring these lines in an effort to control the competition and to gain control of the lucrative electric utility companies that were behind many of these streetcar and interurban railways.  Ridership across the system dropped through the 1920s as operating costs continued to rise, coupled with competition from better highways and private automobile use.  New York Central sold New York State Railways in 1928 to a consortium led by investor E. L. Phillips, who was looking to gain control of the upstate utilities.  Phillips sold his stake to Associated Gas & Electric in 1929, and the new owners allowed the railway bonds to default.  New York State Railways entered receivership on December 30, 1929.  The company emerged from receivership in 1934, and local operations were sold off to new private operators between 1938 and 1948.
Title: Norfolk and Western Railway
Passage: The Norfolk and Western Railway (reporting mark NW) , was a US class I railroad, formed by more than 200 railroad mergers between 1838 and 1982.  It was headquartered in Roanoke, Virginia, for most of its existence.  Its motto was "Precision Transportation"; it had a variety of nicknames, including "King Coal" and "British Railway of America" even though the N&W had mostly articulated steam on its roster.  During the Civil War, the N&W was the biggest railroad in the south and moved most of the products with their steam locomotives to help the South the best way they could.

Passage: The Maine Central Railroad Company main line extended from Portland, Maine, east to the Canada–US border with New Brunswick at the Saint Croix-Vanceboro Railway Bridge.  It is the transportation artery linking Maine cities to the national railway network.  Sections of the main line had been built by predecessor railroads consolidated as the Maine Central in 1862 and extended to the Canada–US border in 1882.  Through the early 20th century, the main line was double track from South Portland to Royal Junction, where it split into a lower road through Brunswick and Augusta and a back road through Lewiston which converged at Waterville into single track to Bangor and points east.  Westbound trains typically used the lower road with lighter grades, while eastbound trains of empty cars used the back road.  This historical description does not include changes following purchase of the Maine Central Railroad by Guilford Transportation Industries in 1981 and subsequent operation as part of Pan Am Railways.
