Androscoggin Railroad

  The Androscoggin Railroad seemed to be a part of the network of Railroads that included Maine Central Railroads Lewiston, Androscoggin, and Rangley Branches. 
  All "Portland gauge" Railroads, I think that was somewhere between Standard and Narrow Gauge.  The Androscoggin Branch ran from near Sabattus all the way to Oquossoc near Rangley.  That is all pretty much in a straight line with a few curves around the rivers and lakes.
  The Lewiston Branch, Androscoggin Branch, Rangley Branch and Livermore Falls Branch all were separate "parts" of the Maine Central Railroad, and each of them was a separate railroad.  Kind of complicated - sort of like the banking network today.
