Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum, Railway museum in Portland, United States.

The Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum operates a 1.5-mile track along Casco Bay, featuring historic locomotives and passenger cars from the early 1900s.

Founded in 1993, the museum preserves equipment from Maine's two-foot gauge railways that operated extensively throughout the state during the late 19th century.

The museum maintains a collection of industrial artifacts and railway equipment that represents Maine's transportation heritage and economic development through the railroad era.

Visitors can experience 40-minute train rides departing hourly from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM between May and October at the Thames Street station.

The facility houses rare Vulcan Iron Works locomotives from 1912 and 1918, including operational models that demonstrate narrow gauge railway technology.
