Narrow Gauge Railroad

There are many of these in Maine - all have been restored for rides and tourist information.

It was the only day that Bob and his father went with us anywhere, but we had a lot of fun over in Phillips, Maine.



Not only did we get to ride the old train, but we stopped at various points to get out, walk around and see some of the old things there. Other trains, buildings and artifacts, and even the roundhouse.





The kids loved walking out on the turn table and running along the turn table track.

Our guide was also the ticket collector - he had a lot of information to give and was very patient with the children running here and there in all of their excitement. He even showed us how the round table was operated by hand!





Peter did not want to leave - he wanted to keep riding. It was a short ride and Peter loves trains so much, but it was fun and we took lots of pictures. Hope you enjoyed the few we shared!
