Fryeburg, Maine Bob and I started our ride on a beautiful sunny day with dark clouds looming on the horizon. We put our RailANT on track at the tourist visitor center at Rt. 302 in Fryeburg, Maine. The ladies at the visitor center were very nice and asked us about railriding. We let them experience first-hand what railriding is about. Just look at their faces! This route goes for 50 miles ending in Portland, Maine. We went only half-way on this route due to stopping frequently to enjoy scenery. There was a bright yellow caboose near the track that marked where a hobbyist had set up displays of different gauge model railroads in his large building. Unfortunately, this day we could only gaze at these jewels inside, but on our next trip plan to visit when it's open. At the mile 6 marker was a rusty bridge crossing the most completely sandy-bottomed river I've ever encountered. We immediately stopped, removed our shoes and cooled off. We returned to the railbike and rode on to stop again at a shady swamp area where snapping turtles thrive. Riding along further we saw a plane landing, which I recognized to be a Cessna 172- 4 seater. We decided to stop at this small, local airport to see more planes, and reminisce about my former days of flying when I was a pilot. This is where we met two mechanics who expressed an interest in our vehicle. After sharing some cold soft drinks from the hangar fridge, they joined us at the tracks and took a ride together. We stopped next in the town of West Baldwin and found a nice gas station/deli, where we met more interesting people. A local Native American, Whitehorse, made us homemade tuna sandwiches. We told her what we were traveling on the rails on our 4 wheeled railrider. When we let her try riding, she enjoyed it and said, "This was a lot of fun but I like my horse better." This is one of the best advantages of railriding; visiting small towns and meeting local folk along the tracks. In order to use this track permission is needed. Contact
