Three Stripes

Maine's Narrow Gauge Railroad will be up and running again come May 4. Coming to the city this summer? You might want to spend a sunny afternoon along the tracks edging Casco Bay. It's really a short trip, running 1 1/2 miles parallel to Eastern Prom, but well worth your time. The view is terrific! There is a museum too with quite a history of narrow gauge railroading in northern Maine. 
Choo Choo!

  4. Narrow gauge rail rides were part of my past as a girl in Michigan. Our family would take it to visit Taquamonon Falls. It was quite scenic as I am sure the Maine trip is -- barbara

  11. I never cared much for trains when I was a kid, but as an adult I have seen some pretty cool layouts. Will I make it up to Portland this summer? No current plans, but things do emerge . . .
