Train and trail fans alike are invited to board the Wiscasset, Waterville, and Farmington Railway steam train at Sheepscot Station in Alna for a 20-minute trip through the backwoods of Alna to Top of Mountain, where volunteers from Midcoast Conservancy will take passengers on a guided tour of the scenic Trout Brook Preserve.

Following the 1.5 hour guided hike, the historic steam train will return hikers back to Sheepscot station. The ticket price of $20 for adults and $10 for youth includes the train ride, the guided hike, and parking at Sheepscot Station. Note that due to the nature of this event, wheelchairs cannot be accommodated; alternatives include the Sheepscot Valley Service or a Caboose Adventure.

Dates for this year’s events are: June 24, Aug. 26, Sept. 30, and Oct. 1, 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m. each day. Registration, which is handled by the Wiscasset, Waterville, and Farmington Railway, is required. To sign up, go to https://www.wwfry.org/.
