The station building in the 19th century

Yarmouth Junction station was a passenger rail station in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. It stood to the west of East Elm Street at Depot Road, at the junction of the former Grand Trunk Railway (now the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad) and the Maine Central Railroad (now Guilford Rail System's Kennebec & Portland), around 0.9 miles (1.4 km) north of the town's Railroad Square, where today's 1906-built Grand Trunk station stands.[1] The Amtrak Downeaster utilizes the former Maine Central Railroad line, which passes to the northwest of town.[2] The Yarmouth Junction station building is now gone, but the junction itself is still active.

There have been discussions about developing the line between Yarmouth Junction and Brunswick, Maine.[3]
