Are you fascinated by trains and also love the outdoors? Or perhaps a history buff interested in exploring a new slice of local history? If so, join WW&F Railway for Ride the Rails to Hike the Trails on May 25th. Board a historic steam engine at Sheepscot station for a 30 minute trip through the woods of Alna to Trout Brook station, where a naturalist from Midcoast Conservancy will take you on a guided tour of the scenic Trout Brook Preserve. The 1.5 hour hike will lead you to the banks of Trout Brook for which the 126 acre preserve is named. The hike has some moderate hills and can be muddy if wet, so good hiking footwear is advised. The total distance covered is about 2 miles. Following the hike, the historic steam train will return you back to Sheepscot station in style. Tickets can be purchased on WW&F Railway’s website (https://wwfry.org/all-activities/ride-the-rails-to-hike-the-trails/) or you can email the railway for more information and help registering (info@wwfry.org). A portion of the ticket price includes a donation to help further the mission of Midcoast Conservancy. We look forward to seeing you on the narrow gauge!
