Downeast Scenic Railroad

A trip on the Downeast Scenic Railroad not only takes the traveler back to a time of elegant travel in lovingly restored rail cars, but also travels a truly beautiful part of Maine.
From canopied forest where the light sparkles through the tree tops as chickadees and nuthatches bounce from limb to limb, to open marshland where beaver, heron, turtles, and moose might be seen, the restored section of the Calais Branch Lines gives passengers a view not seen since the wealthy “rusticators” traveled from the cities to their summer homes on the Line.
The mission of the Downeast Rail Preservation Heritage Trust is to celebrate and preserve the railroad history of Downeast Maine for the educational enlightenment and enjoyment of future generations.
