Belfast & Moosehead Lake Railroad

The Belfast & Moosehead Lake Railroad operates scenic excursion trains through the lakes and forests of midcoast Maine, reviving a line that originally opened in 1870 to connect Belfast on Penobscot Bay to the interior of the state. Based in Unity, the railroad runs diesel-powered excursions through quintessential Maine countryside, offering passengers a relaxing journey through small towns, past ponds, and across historic trestles. The railroad hosts a variety of themed events throughout its operating season, including fall foliage excursions, holiday trains, and special event rides that celebrate the scenic beauty and railroad heritage of coastal Maine. It operates primarily on weekends during the warmer months and for special events.
