Trainriders Northeast is non-profit citizen’s organization group based out of Portland, Maine. It was established in 1989 to advocate for the extension of passenger rail service from Boston to Portland and points north. Today Trainriders Northeast may be most well known for their role in bringing passenger service back to Portland, with the Amtrak ''Downeaster''. The organization was established to not only promote the extension of rail service, but to educate the public on the pros of rail. They also support “comprehensive transportation planning”, or creating long-term regional transportation plans.〔("Trainriders NE - Goals & Objectives." The Official Site of Trainriders NE. )〕 ==History==
Trainriders Northeast adopted five goals when they were organized in 1989, the first being the return of passenger rail service to Maine from Boston on the former ''Pine Tree'' route of the Boston & Maine and the Maine Central. One of the original goals was to return passenger rail service from Portland to Brunswick where Amtrak service could connect with the Maine Eastern Railroad. This was accomplished with a $35 million federal grant. The Maine Eastern Railroad operates a scenic train with service from Brunswick to Rockland, via Bath and Wiscasset. Pan Am Railways completed the work on time and on budget. The Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority initiated passenger rail service to Freeport and Brunswick in December of 2012.〔 〕
