Somerset Railroad (Maine)
Videos
The Somerset Railroad was built to serve Kennebec River communities and later extended through timberlands to a large wooden Victorian era destination hotel on Moosehead Lake. The railway became part of the Maine Central Railroad in 1911; and a portion remained in intermittent operation by Pan Am Railways until 2013.

The International Railway of Maine was a historic railroad constructed by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) between Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, and Mattawamkeag, Maine, closing a key gap in the railway's transcontinental main line to the port of Saint John, New Brunswick.
Abandoned CPR passenger station at Greenville Junction, Maine, opened in 1889. The last passenger service using this station ended on December 17, 1994, with discontinuation of Via's Atlantic service. In the distance is a trestle leading to the former junction with the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad at Moosehead Lake.
