Take a step back in time with a scenic ride on Maine Narrow Gauge!

Our roundtrip train ride is approximately 3 miles long and takes 40 minutes per trip. Along the way, you'll get scenic vistas of Casco Bay, see exciting new developments along Portland's waterfront, and pass lighthouses, marinas, forts, public parks, and even a beach!
