Enjoy A Scenic Train Ride And Then Spend The Night In A Restored Caboose Airbnb In Maine
Take a trip back in time when the iron horse was king and ruled the landscape leaving a trail of smoke on scenic routes. We might not use the locomotive nearly as much in our day and age, but that shouldn’t stop us from enjoying it. Take a train trip in Maine by riding a restored historic train through beautiful scenery. Then, to complete your train-themed excursion, opt to stay the night in an Airbnb that’s a restored caboose.
The Sandy River and Rangeley Lakes Railroad is ready to take you on a locomotive ride in the beautiful western part of Maine. The station is located in Phillip and there you will find everything you need to fill your day with fun on the rails. Fully restored trains are on full display as they chug down the tracks.
Throughout the year they do night rides by lanterns, have a spooky ghost train during Halloween, and have special fall foliage rides. They have even hosted a wild west heist event where bandits try to hijack the train. There are plenty of reasons to keep coming back all throughout the year.
The Sandy River And Rangeley Lakes Railroad takes great effort to restore these historical relics for everyone to enjoy.
When you are done riding on the train less than an hour north will take you into the heart of the Carrabassett Valley. There you can find a unique stay unlike anywhere else. A fully restored Caboose can be your headquarters for the night so that your train-themed day can extend well into the next day.
This caboose was restored with much of its original pieces intact and over 100 years since it was used on the tracks you can spend the night in this beauty. This antique has a double bed, a single bed, and a pullout sofa as well as a full bathroom and kitchen.
My name is Chris Dodge and I love to bring my family along for many adventures. We love to inspire others to get outside too. We have a whole YouTube Channel dedicated to it called Adventuring in the Moment. With videos or writing, I try to bring the best that the outdoors has to offer.
