  2. The West Coast Railroaders Group was operating Speeder Excursions for the public from the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad station in Garibaldi, Oregon. We got to ride a speeder around the bay (Miami Cove) and back. This was a rare opportunity that I wanted to take advantage of while we had the chance. I’m glad we did! It was fun and interesting.

  3. Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel that for the first time in a long time, countries around the world are finally investing BIG in trains and railroad infrastructure. 🚆 🚉 🛤

    > As I do every morning I was on my usual walk. A stroll down to the end of my street; I loop around the Commons by the Post Office and then jog back up my street. It's an overwhelmingly peaceful trek that's far too punctuated by awful, noisy,

  10. #Maine - #EasternTrail

    "The Eastern Trail is a 62 mile multi-use, non-motorized greenway, that connects Bug Light in Casco Bay, South Portland to Kittery, Maine. Approximately thirty percent of the trail is off-road, and the trail is a part of the #EastCoastGreenway which will eventually connect #CalaisMaine to #KeyWestFlorida, approximately 3000 miles. The Eastern Trail is currently composed of 21 miles of off-road trails on the former Eastern Railroad bed with the remainder 41 miles on public roads.

    "The entirety of the Eastern Trail is built to ADA standards. The trail surface varies between pavement and stone dust/gravel. Most of the trail is 10-12 feet wide, with some sections with an 8-foot width. There is a 30-inch opening between the bollards at entrances to keep out motorized vehicles, but wide enough to allow access for wheelchairs.

    "The off-road section connecting Scarbrough to Saco privdes access to the 2200-acre Scarborough Marsh, which is Maine's largest salt marsh. Heading north on the trail from Pine Point (ME-9) or south from Eastern Road in Scarborough provides access to this 2.5 mile stretch of trail.

    "Heading south from Pine Point Road, the trail crosses the York County and Cumberland County boundaries and users can walk/bike from Scarborough, through Old Orchard Beach to Saco, where the current-off-road trail ends at Thornton Academy in Saco, approximately 6 miles from the Pine Point kiosk.

    "There are kiosks at 3 parking areas, that give some history and points of interest along the trail. For example, the Eastern Trail is built on the old Eastern #Railroad line that was built in 1840 and abandoned in 1945. Also, Charles Lindberg flew into the now abandoned Scarborough airport several times. And, a trestle once carried open air trolleys from the rail line to Old Orchard Beach for summer tourists."
