08/06/2001 Maine Appalachian Trail hike

While on a 50 miler with my friend Bob, we crossed the old SR&RL roadbed cutting through the woods. Here, there was obviously a trestle/bridge across a small stream, which was long gone. The R-O-W is largely clear now, used as a trail for 4-wheelers. Trains last passed through this area in the mid-1930's. The precise coordinates are 44° 58' 24"N, 70° 24' 23"W (click the link to vie an interactive Topo Map of the area)

There is evidence of cut stone and some steel cables nearby. R-O-W R-O-W Very remote. I sure wish you could still ride a train here. page 1 (images 1-5) | Home All images on these pages © 2004 Benjamin Sullivan, all rights reserved last updated 10/13/2004
