I tried to post the link to their website but tripadvisor doesn't allow that. Shame on you tripadvisor as this person has a simple question that could easily be answered by the link to the website. That aside, I would suggest checking the wwf railway website as they have their schedule posted there. As you can see, there are a lot of events listed for the fall. If you're looking for steam, then it appears Saturday September 30 is your day.

A:
The length of the track is currently just over two and a half miles long. Since the trip takes place on a portion of the route of the original Wiscasset, Waterville, and Farmington Railway, it is not a loop, but a ride between Sheepscot Station in Alna, Maine and "top of the mountain" (also in Alna.) The ride is round-trip, for a total distance of over five miles traveled and takes about 45-50 minutes. Trains depart the station at 97 Cross Road, Alna, Maine at 10, 11, 12:30, 1:30, 2:30, and 3:30pm on summer weekends. Along the route you will experience travel as was common in rural Maine over 100 years ago. On summer weekends, a 1911 steam engine will pull the wooden cars of your train past brooks, meadows, fields, farms, and even a "flag stop" which served the local farmers until the original railroad ceased operations in 1933. Back at Sheepscot station, you are free to wander through the rail yard and shop complex. This is a living history museum/heritage railway and you are encouraged to explore, ask questions, and see what it was like to keep these unique narrow gauge railroads operating. Looking for a unique experience? On most weekends, hand car ("pump car") rides are available within the rail yard (free, subject to crew availability.) Or, ride the railroad in a Model T inspection car (extra fare required.) -Ed Lecuyer WW&F Railway Volunteer
