Maine Garden Railway Society is planning an outing on Saturday September 25, 2010 to get all the members together that enjoy taking a nice train ride up the coast of Maine while the weather is nice and the tourist activity is quieter. Carl has talked to Maine Eastern and has come up with the following:

We will meet at the new Maine St. Station in Brunswick which was built to extend service for the Downeaster starting this summer. We will leave Brunswick at 10:20 AM and stop briefly at Bath before continuing up the coast line as we travel to Wiscasset and head up to our destination Rockland, Me. A beautiful trip that takes 1 hour and 55 minutes which put us in Rockland at 12:15 just in time for lunch. We have a little over 3 and a half hours to spend in Rockland which is perfect for a nice lunch and site seeing on a beautiful Main Street with lots of interesting shops. There is also the Farnsworth Museum which features 3 generations of famous Maine artists (Wyeth's family) art work. Plus the Rockland Station has food and train souvenirs, plus other interesting things to see. We depart Rockland at 3:55 and enjoy a nice ride back which pulls into Brunswick Station at 5:50PM. There is a snack car on the train and it is a great ride for members to enjoy together. 

Very comfortable and clean and we can guarantee a discount price of $33.60 per person for the round trip. If you bring someone under 16 years old their round trip cost is $18.90  MGRS will need to collect the fares ahead of time as we will be charged by Maine Eastern for the total cost. We have about 40 people who want to go on the trip. 
Thank you and All-aboard for MGRS !

Sorry ~ Discount Tickets Sale has ended.   You are still welcome to join us but you must purchase your own ticket from Maine Central.  

39 People have bought tickets for the trip! We will meet at Brunswick Maine Street Station  between 9:30 and 10am on Saturday Sept 25th.
