Wednesday, Oct 17, Coastal Maine Scenic Train Ride

It was a frosty morning! Had to scrape the windshield before we left for the train station at 8:00!

Arrived at the Wicscasset train station and the tide is out. Looks like it will be a beautiful, sunny day.

                                         Here comes our train

We first went west to Brunswick and there we had a 45 minute layover. Brunswick is the home of the well-respected Bowdoin College. We met the College mascot at the station. Here he was making a little girl very happy!

We travelled back east to Wiscasset to pick up Terry & Sharon then continue west to Rockland.

The train arrived on time, at Rockland, the end of the line. Any further & you would be in the Atlantic Ocean!












We have a 3 1/2 hour layover here and have been advised to have lunch at the Golden Compass Cafe. It won the Bobby Flay Throwdown (on the Food Channel) for the King Club sandwich. It is the most popular thing on the menu. We had to try it!.















The sandwich was huge and FULL of lobster! We split one for lunch.

We had a sunny trip back east to Wiscasset and arrived at 5:25. The tide was out again.

It was a gorgeous day!
