Final Weekend for 2025
Well folks, we’d like to thank you for a successful season. Our train crew reports that the weekend of 12-13 October was the busiest of the season. We are now down to just one remaining weekend with a reduced operating schedule. There is still a lot of foliage to be seen in the river valleys and lower elevations. Should your plans call for a visit to northwestern Maine then please put us on your calendar.
We will be putting the railroad to bed soon and hope to see you soon in June 2026 when the railroad comes out of hibernation. Anyone interested in volunteering to help the cause may email us at Secretary@srrl-rr.org .
Ghost Train?
We’ve been receiving numerous inquiries regarding the Ghost Train. This had traditionally been a collaborative effort with the local middle school and more recently the Chamber of Commerce. Sadly it does not appear that we will be operating the Ghost Train this year. Please check back with us next year.
Franklin County’s Unique Narrow Gauge Railroad
The Sandy River and Rangeley Lakes Railroad is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt foundation dedicated to the preservation and restoration of one of the original two-foot narrow gauge railroads that were unique to the state of Maine. This railroad, located in the mountainous region of Franklin County, was the longest of the five two-foot railways that once serviced the state. Our museum offers the largest collection of authentic Maine two-foot rolling stock and railway structures to be found anywhere.
