Fall Operations 2025
It’s coming down to the wire on our 2025 season with only three weekends of of operations remaining. Our next operating weekend is 4-5 October. The foliage is beginning to pop which is independetly confirmed by a link below. What’s more the long range weather forecast is looking very good with sunny skies and highs in the upper 70s.
Our remaining weekends after this are 11-12 and 18-19 October which often align well with peak foliage along the line. Note that we run a reduced schedule on our final weekend. The foliage around here can be quite spectacular in mid-October, so keep an eye on the weather. We will keep you posted on the foliage here as the season progresses.
See the Appachian Mountain Club foliage tracker page for an independent opinion.
Ghost Train?
We’ve been receiving numerous inquiries regarding the Ghost Train. This had traditionally been a collaborative effort with the local middle school. 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.
