We are thrilled to bring you an exciting opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty and history of Maine’s railway heritage. As part of our 2025 Eastern Regional Rally, you are invited to join us for a relaxing journey aboard the Downeast Scenic Railroad, traveling the historic rails of the former Maine Central Railroad.
As part of our rally schedule, the Downeast Scenic Railroad excursion is scheduled for Saturday, August 9 at 1:30 PM. The train ride will last approximately 90 minutes, offering plenty of time to soak in the scenery and enjoy the ride.
Sit back and relax in restored vintage railcars as we travel through lush pine forests, open fields, and sparkling waterways. Throughout the journey, you will enjoy live narration sharing fascinating facts about the area's natural beauty, wildlife, and rich railroad history. This is truly a step back in time that offers a unique perspective of the region’s charm.
