Notes to take from this topo map:

• The map was made four years after the photographs were taken.
• The Bangor & Aroostook Railroad mainline was located on the west side of town.
• There seems to be a yard located to the right of the river.
• Numerous spur lines branched off of the yard area and continued south and east.

Notes to take away from satellite map:

• Bangor & Aroostook Railroad's mainline still exists.
• The yard in Western Houlton appears to still exist.

Notes to take away from satellite map:

• Spur lines seem to mostly be abandoned though most of the ROWs are still visible.
• There's a road named "Sidings St."; an ode to that strip of lands heritage.

Here is a 2007 google maps view of Marble Street in Houlton, Maine.

I have come to believe that this is the EXACT location where the above photographs taken in 1947 were snapped.

Below, I'm going to be comparing buildings and other significant details supporting this theory.

If you look down the spur's right of way, you can see that there is enough space on the right side of the existent piece of track supporting the idea that there were once two tracks leading in this direction.

Also, take note of the slight curve of the track on the other side of the road. When compared to the original photos taken in 1947, one can clearly see a similar curve.

Lastly, note the warehouse building on the left side of the photo. This building was probably built after the spur in the foreground of the 1947 photo was abandoned because the aluminum siding that the building is constructed of did not become popular as a building material until the late 1940's.
