In recognition and memory of Susan Maxell, a dedicated attendant in the Café of the Amtrak Downeaster, a memorial bench has been installed on the platform in Old Orchard Beach. Sue began her service when the Downeaster began operating in December 2001 and remained a dedicated employee until her unexpected passing in June 2021. Her warm smile and contagious laugh will be missed by many.
