About
Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Co. & Museum runs historic two-foot gauge passenger cars on a roughly three-mile line along Portland's waterfront and Casco Bay. Onboard narration covers the sights and the history of narrow gauge railroading in Maine. The regular ride runs in spring, summer and fall; in late 2026 the site lists holiday event trains instead. Museum opening hours are not stated.
Getting there
65 Thames Street, Portland, ME
On the Portland waterfront. There is no railroad parking lot, and the Ocean Gateway terminal lot is not for passengers: use nearby metered or day lots.
The pin marks the site itself, not necessarily the entrance (43.66250, -70.24500). Apple Maps directions go to the street address instead. Show on our map · Google Maps · Apple Maps
