You'll see all the current freight operations plus a fascinating tourist line. The beauty of the state is revealed as you follow trains through villages and across the open countryside. The Alco RS-11 of the new shortline, Maine Coast, puts on a show for us as we witness the new railroad's movements. At Brownville Junction, we stay up all night to catch the nocturnal operations of Canadian Pacific and a VIA passenger train. Locomotives on the Springfield Terminal will surprise you, as many older-model diesels work in daily freight service.
Maine is a state alive with railroad activity and variety.
The wide range of locomotive types and paint schemes will captivate your interest, and the scenic beauty of the state provides a perfect backdrop for great railroad action.
