Riding the Rails

Mom, Dad and I took the beautiful ride from Brunswick to Rockland on the Maine Eastern Railroad. It was a glorious day, and the scenery and foliage were beautiful. We got situated in the comfortable seats and headed off on our two hour trip.

As we approached Wiscasset, it was neat to see the village from a totally different perspective.

Dad especially liked the view of Castle Tucker, a landmark on his daily walk.

We even got a wave from former neighbor and antiques colleague Roger, who coincidentally was packing his truck up for an antique show in Newburyport.

Had to take a picture of the most unusual lack of line at the famed Red's Eats.

And there, behind the Weeping Willow, is the view of The Fed from the train trestle in the Sheepscot River.

After spending a few hours at the impressive Farnsworth Museum in Rockland, we boarded the train for the ride back to Brunswick - made even more memorable by a stunning sunset.
