The train runs at speeds outside of stations from 75 to 150 mph. The passenger cars are equipped with a tilting mechanism which allows to train to take the sharp curves without applying G-force pressure to travelers. The train is pulled and pushed by two 6000 horse power engines. The landscape whizzes by as you sit in comfort waiting for the next destination. It is wise to bring your own snacks and beverages on board because, like airports, the food is expensive.

The Lobster Train Land Tour of Maine will surely be a highlight in your vacation experiences.
