Maine Trains

If you get up near Waterville/Agusta, the Guilford System runs daily freights through the Belgrade Chain - a series of lakes. The first lake just south of Waterville is Lake Messoolonskee and the train stays on the west side of the lake. At the end of the lake it crosses the road (I think Maine Road #11 but am not totally sure) and then starts up an upgrade towards Belgrade. I think the track is limited to about 20 mph and since the freights are 50+ cars the engines can really belch the smoke as they climb this grade. I saw this last summer before I bought my camera but I am planning on going back again this year as I can still see the smoke flying like an old steam engine. <br /> <br />Bill
