Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum

From the 1870s until the 1940s, some 200 miles of narrow gauge lines served the state's smaller communities. Today, our Museum visitors relive railroading as it once was and come to understand the railroads' importance to Maine's economic development. They have the unique pleasure of riding along the shore of Casco Bay in an antique rail car pulled by historic steam or diesel locomotives. The route follows the 1846 right of way of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Railroad,

linking Portland with Montreal. During a three-mile round-trip, visitors take in the sights of the waterfront, harbor, and islands, all described - along with the story of Maine's narrow-gauge railroads - by our conductors and docents.
The Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Company & Museum collects, preserves, displays, interprets, and operates historic railroad equipment from Maine's two-foot-gauge railways for the education and enjoyment of the public.
