Work beginning this week to expand the Wells Downeaster train station will add a second platform, allowing for an early morning northbound train to Portland.

State regulators visited the derailment site late last year and say remediation efforts were completed in December. The enforcement case against Canadian Pacific was closed.

The Maine Forest Service and Land Use Planning Commission say a large amount of sediment has been released into nearby waterways, because the rail company has been using the access roads to send heavy machinery to the derailment site.

The Maine Department of Environmental Protection is warning the Canadian Pacific Kansas City railroad company that it if it doesn't take satisfactory action to clean up the site of last weekend's train derailment in Somerset County, the DEP will take over at the company's expense.

Seven cars from the Canadian Pacific freight train that derailed in northern Somerset County over the weekend are still on site, state environmental officials said Tuesday.
