 Ross Capon, President and CEO of the National Association of Railroad Passengers (NARP) came to Maine for a brief visit this month accompanied by his three sons, Tom, Phillip and William. TNE Chairman, NARP Delegate and former long-time Vice-President, joined the Capons at Saco to ride with them to Portland.
Unfortunately, they were two years too early to enjoy Amtrak Downeaster expanded service direct to Brunswick to connect with the existing Maine Eastern Railroad's luxury service to Wiscasset - the jumping off place for visiting their relatives on Westport Island. They rented a car in Portland.
Nevertheless, escaping from the 100+ degree temperatures in Washington to enjoy Maine's cooling sea breezes at Westport made the trip worthwhile.
