Maine Rail Group

We hinted that there would be something all of you should keep on your calendars coming down the pipeline. That has finally arrived.

Folks, let's Save Maine Rails.

Film producer Reginald Groff has interviewed several people from Conway Scenic Railroad, Belfast & Moosehead Lake Railroad, TrainRiders/Northeast, and ourselves here at Maine Rail Group to expose the unfolding situation regarding Maine's state-owned rail corridors and the attempts to remove them for bike paths. This includes the Mountain Division, Berlin Subdivision, and the Augusta Lower Road. This has involved a great deal of coordination and a great deal of filming, and we're excited to be sharing this with all of you.

The clock is ticking, everyone. Some of these lines are facing removal within the next one to two years. When the tracks are gone, they are—for all intents and purposes— gone. We can avoid this tragedy and work together for equitable transportation for all of Maine.

There's far more to come as we continue with this project, but we want to welcome all of you to Save Maine Rails. 🚂 🛤️ 🌲
