 The State of Maine, Guilford Transportation Industries and the Maine Eastern Railroad are working together to develop a passenger rail excursion pilot project this summer from Portland and Brunswick and Rockland along Guilford’s lines and Maine DOT’s Rockland Branch. This passenger rail pilot project will introduce the first rail passengers to this rail line
since the 1960’s.
 "Our objective is to begin to demonstrate the future potential for passenger rail service along this corridor -- to Freeport and Brunswick and eventually Lewiston-Auburn. For this summer the excursions will likely be built around festivals, special events, and cruise ship dockings in Rockland or elsewhere. Guilford’s willingness to give access to Maine Eastern for these excursions is a pivotal first step." - Governor John Baldacci, June 2, 2004
Stay tuned to this site for exciting news about the service!
