The Portland Terminal Company was a terminal railroad notable for its control of switching activity for the Maine Central Railroad (MEC) and Boston & Maine (B&M) railroads in the Maine cities of Portland, South Portland, and Westbrook. == History == The Maine Central Railroad (MEC) came under the control of the Boston & Maine Railroad (B&M) in 1884. The New Haven Railroad secured control of the B&M in 1907, and the Portland Terminal Company was formed in 1911 as part of the New Haven's consolidation of New England transportation facilities. Portland Terminal Company became a subsidiary of MEC while B&M was in financial difficulty in 1914.〔Johnson 1985 p.89〕〔Johnson undated p.65〕〔Plant & Melvin 1998 p.3〕〔Plant & Melvin 1999 pp.3 & 50〕〔Marson & Jennison 1999 pp.20 & 22〕 PTM's activities were vital to Portland's role as a winter seaport receiving Canadian products from the Grand Trunk Railway for export to Europe. Shipping from Portland declined sharply as Canadian exports were routed via the Maritime ports of St. John, New Brunswick and Halifax, Nova Scotia following nationalization of the Grand Trunk in 1923. Exports from Portland declined from per year in the early 1920s to per year during the worst year of the following depression. In the decade following World War II, PTM operated on of main lines and branch tracks, of yard tracks, and of industry-owned tracks. PTM was acquired by Guilford Transportation Industries in 1981,〔C.S.Hammond & Co.
