A Very Different Train Ride
Posted by GN_Fan on Wednesday, January 13, 2016 10:01 AM

I came across this CNN article in my cruising for the news.  The old saying of there's not a train I wouldn't ride, no matter where it was going, may not apply to some in this case.  BUT, in my youth and being very reckless, I think I would have ventured a ride on this train.  I've ridden freights on the old NP and GN in the Northwest way back in my college days, but I'm 72 now and wouldn't even give it a try.  Too old. Probably get arrested anyway. 

Anyway, i've never heard of this line and wouldn't have guessed it even existed, but maybe someone has heard of it, or maybe even ridden it.  All I can say it'll take an Indiana Jones type of guy to do it.  Have fun and enjoy. http://thinkmaine.bangordailynews.com/2016/01/12/history-and-politics/maine-snow-removal-history-video/?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link
