My name is Chris Dodge and I live right here in the great state of Tennessee. My family and I are full adventurers filled with passion to see the amazing things our state has to offer. We are avid hikers and have explored many different places in Tennessee and beyond but we are always thankful to be living in such a glorious state.
Take a trip back in time when the iron horse was king and ruled the landscape leaving a trail of smoke on scenic routes. We might not use the locomotive nearly as much in our day and age, but that shouldn’t stop us from enjoying it. Take a train trip in Maine by riding a restored historic train through beautiful scenery. Then, to complete your train-themed excursion, opt to stay the night in an Airbnb that’s a restored caboose.
The Sandy River and Rangeley Lakes Railroad is ready to take you on a locomotive ride in the beautiful western part of Maine. The station is located in Phillip and there you will find everything you need to fill your day with fun on the rails. Fully restored trains are on full display as they chug down the tracks.
Throughout the year they do night rides by lanterns, have a spooky ghost train during Halloween, and have special fall foliage rides. They have even hosted a wild west heist event where bandits try to hijack the train. There are plenty of reasons to keep coming back all throughout the year.

The Sandy River And Rangeley Lakes Railroad takes great effort to restore these historical relics for everyone to enjoy.
When you are done riding on the train less than an hour north will take you into the heart of the Carrabassett Valley. There you can find a unique stay unlike anywhere else. A fully restored Caboose can be your headquarters for the night so that your train-themed day can extend well into the next day.
This caboose was restored with much of its original pieces intact and over 100 years since it was used on the tracks you can spend the night in this beauty. This antique has a double bed, a single bed, and a pullout sofa as well as a full bathroom and kitchen.
