Project Information and Map At the core of the Downeast Scenic Railroad Project is the rehabilitation of the Washington Junction/Ellsworth to Green Lake section of the Calais Branch Line to create a 24-mile round- trip excursion ride. This stretch of the Calais Branch Line provides exceptional views of wetland marshes, glacial erratica including massive boulders, river and stream crossings, Little Rocky Pond and Green Lake. While working on this stretch of the line we have observed many forms of wildlife including osprey, blue herons, bald eagles, moose, deer, snapping turtles, beavers...and bears, just west of Green Lake Road! Initial excursions are planned between Washington Junction and Ellsworth Falls, approximately an 8-mile round-trip run, just to whet your appetite for things to come! Other project components include construction of a depot/museum in Ellsworth and storage/repair facility at Washington Junction.
