Hi Dourg,
This is a neat prototype that is a great insipration for a layout. A friend of mine is actually from Belfast.

I can remember several track plans published over the years in magazines. You can search for them and other info here:
http://www.trains.com/trc/default.aspx?c=a&id=57

The actual name is Belfast & Moosehead Lake, but a search by "B&ML" works better and gives you 8 results. I didn't see a trackplan listed, but poke around and maybe someone else will remember what I'm thinking of that had a trackplan. I think it was published  in one of Kalmbach or Carstens track track plan collection books.

There is a track plan in 101 track plans by Kalmbach, but it's not the best.

My Grandfather worked the B&ML for many years and much of my family still lives around there.  My own proposed layout is based on the B&ML.

I have a ton of info and documents that I've collected over the years.  A good portion of this info is on line at the forum in my signature.  I'm not sure if you can view it without being a member, but it's in the "Short Lines" section.  It even includes a story of an automobile impaling a caboose.  Also included are track plans for all the stations, a detailed plan for Waldo station, and pics of almost every locomotive and most rolling stock the company ever owned along with a lot of history.  I really need to work on adding more to it.

Stop by and check it out!

Do a google search. I did find a very nice site.They show what locomotives they used and a good background info about the line. The good  news is they ran again after a 2 year absence.
