Looking for something fun to do with the entire family? Take a trip back in time at the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Co. & Museum! Enjoy magnificent views of Portland's working waterfront aboard antique rail cars pulled by hard-working steam and diesel locomotives. Discover the unique two-foot gauge trains that linked rural Maine to the rest of the world.

During the latter half of the 19th Century, Maine had a unique system of railroads that ran on rails only two feet apart. Eventually, there were five of these railroads serving the rural areas of central and western Maine.

Spring of 2008 saw the beginning of the long awaited task of bringing one of MNGR's largest steam locomotives, B&SR 7, back to life. It is no small task to do this. We are maximizing volunteer labor and donated services but there are still parts of this project that require funding. Specifically, material needs to be bought and special services need to be paid for.
