Note that the trail crossing of Hale Street does not look like a typical rail-trail crossing!
The presumed location of the Waterville Depot (or rural train stop) was near the Benjamin Road crossing.

A restaurant and a gas-convenience store are located at the Waterville Plaza on Route 202 a short
distance south of the Benjamin Street intersection. The restaurant is open 6 am
to 2 pm daily and presumably offers toilets and water upon request. The
gas-convenience store is open 6 am to 10 pm daily (closes at 9 pm on Sunday)
with what quickly appeared to be the usual offerings. Note that a toilet was not
obvious inside or outside of the convenience store!

that MRTA busses do not accommodate bicycles!
