The Maine Coast Railroad was a railroad that operated on tracks owned by the Maine Department of Transportation between 1991 and 2000.
It offered both freight service and passenger service.[1] The passenger trains operated between Wiscasset (town), Maine and Warren, Maine.
The railroad closed on December 4, 2000 because they lost their lease to the tracks.[2]
