Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Co. & Museum

Frommer's Review

In the late 19th century, Maine was home to several narrow-gauge railways, operating on rails 2 feet apart. Most of these versatile trains have disappeared, but this nonprofit organization is dedicated to preserving the examples that remain. Admission is free, with a charge for a short ride on a train that chugs on a rail line along Casco Bay at the foot of the Eastern Prom. Views of the islands are outstanding; the ride itself is slow-paced and somewhat yawn-inducing unless you're very young.
