Trucks outside of a starch factory, Caribou, Aroostook County, Me. There were almost fifty trucks in the line. Some had been waiting for twenty-four hours for the potatoes to be graded and weighed (LOC)

    I think it might actually be the depot... From Wikipedia: The Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway (MMA) is a 745-mile (1,199 km) regional railway operating in the states of Maine, Vermont and in the Canadian provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick, providing a direct rail link between northern Maine, Saint John, New Brunswick and Montreal, Quebec. However, the MMA has recently announced plans to abandon its northern Maine lines, and an effort has begun to have the State of Maine purchase the lines and improve them, to ensure continued rail service.
