Operations for Sunday September 17

The Sandy River has weathered the storm and will resume operations on Sunday September 17. The weather is likely to be good in the wake of hurricane Lee. Stop in and see us if you can.

Our 2023 season is winding down with only a few weekend dates remaining in September and October. The folliage is usally very good here from the end of September through mid October, sometimes longer. Stop on by and see us if your interests include both leaf peeping and the history of Maine’s 2-foot gauge railways.
