Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Centipede, Donkey Kong, Frogger, Q*Bert, Missile Command. I'm willing to bet that you have heard of at least one of these arcade games from the 1980s. Even if you didn't grow up in that decade, they're probably still familiar to you. The 80s may be long gone, but it's not hard to feel like you hopped into a Delorean and went back to 1985 when you see these 5 Maine and New Hampshire arcades still keeping the '80s alive.

If you've ever crossed the Kennebec River bridge between Bath and Woolwich, you've likely seen the nearly 100-year-old bridge next to the 25-year-old bridge. Have you ever wondered what the view from the top of the Carlton Bridge looks like? Completed in 1927, the Carlton Bridge was built for automotive and rail traffic. Since the Sagadahoc Bridge was completed in 2000, the bridge now only carries sporadic rail traffic to Bath Ironworks and occasional passenger rail traffic to Rockland.

It was a close call for a dog that was trapped on the railroad tracks in Wells, Maine, as the Amtrak Downeaster was approaching. The Amtrak Downeaster has been transporting people from Maine to Boston and back since December 2001. It travels on rails owned by CSX Transportation and it was on those rails that a tragedy was avoided when a lost dog became stuck on the railroad tracks, unable to escape as the Downeaste was bearing down on it.
