The odd name is derived from the fact that there was a famous narrow-gauge (2 feet between the rails) rail system there, the Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes RR, which lasted into the 1930s.
Does any of this train line still there?
davidcoppock -No, all scrapped many years ago. But some of the engines and cars are still around. And at one of the stations, in Phillips ME, the Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes Railroad museum has relaid some track in town and operates it. Two hobbies which go together: Old Theatres, and Old Railroads !!
No, as rsalters said, the track itself has been torn up decades ago. The Whistlestop Trail follows it, however, and is a popular hiking trail — especially for those who want to walk to Walmart while avoiding the very busy routes 2 & 4.
Yes, theatres and old railroads do go together rsalters(Ron Salters). Only time i have of this combation though i think!? As least this drive-in theatre and the indoor cinema are still on track though.
Are the cars in the above photo parked between rails?
davidcoppock – Are the cars in the above photo parked between rails?
Answer – There are different levels for improved sight-lines with safety barriers – GL
@ davidcoppock and ron salters i agree old movie theaters and trains go together!
