Welcome to the

Tall Pines Scenic Railroad


Route Through The Woods

     The Tall Pines Scenic Railroad is located in Berwick, Maine on 15+ acres. The land is heavily wooded with a mixture of Red and White Pines, Hemlock, Fir, Maple, Oak, and Birch trees.

 

     There is 3778' of 15" guage track made up from 12 lb rail lag bolted to 4 x 4 x 30" pressure treated ties. Heavy duty landscape fabric was first put down to prevent ballast from sinking into the ground and to prevent weed growth. Finally, 3/4" stone ballast is being used to level the track.

                                                                                                             LOCOMOTIVES

      Tall Pines Scenic Railroad currently has a 3" scale GE 50 ton 0-4-0 switcher. The prime mover is a Kohler 16 hp gas engine driving a hydraulic pump which in turn drives two hydraulic motors, one on each axle. The locomotive has an air system for train brakes and air horns and has operating headlights. Weight - 1200 lbs, Wheel diameter - 8 5/8", Fuel - gasoline, capacity 3.6 gal.

                                                                                                            ROLLING STOCK

    
There are five freight cars on the railroad. These include one flat car, one 2 bay hopper, one low side gondola, one high side gondola, and one boxcar. Also included are one MOW weed spraying car, and one MOW backhoe car. This is basically a flat car with a backhoe attached to the deck.
