- This video tells some of the story of the abandoned locomotives in the Allagash Wilderness Waterway forrest in the north of Maine. This was recorded back in October (life got in the way of posting videos for a while). Hope you enjoy, please sub!

There was an engine house but it burned and rotted so they tore it down, they also capped the top of the smokestacks of the locomotives so water won't enter the smokebox and rot out the boiler. They also removed the boiler jackets because there was asbestos underneath.
I was there in 1994 on a camping trip with my father, brother, and friend. I was 9 years old at the time, and I still remember those trains.
Thanks again for a great clip. Wouldn't it be nice to see those engines restored and working. Cheers
Lovely video of the woods I call home. I too have a video of these critters in the woods but love your added drone footage
Went today. Awesome! Sad it sat for years. Beautiful. Never forgot. Most interesting historical
Absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing with us
"yeah thyah theyah" - booth guy ... as a Mainer, I can confirm that this is what native residents older than 40 sound like
Lily Herb 😂
Awesome! Thanks for the tour, very interesting
Great video! My wife and I hope to see these engines this fall.
There use to be a building over the trains but it burned down years ago. I stopped in there on my 7 day canoe trip down the allagash. I did 92 miles of the 102 mile wilderness waterway.
Justin sounds like an amazing trip!
Always wanted to canoe the allagash. My uncle and grandfather have done it. My brother and uncle and I are going to try to ride snomobiles to the trains from our property in Madawaska.
@@benbouchard7958 nice.. hope you get the chance to get back and see them in the summer. The snow will cover up at of amazing things.
Im sold heading that way tomorrow!!!!!
Jeremy T. Grant great! Just remember don’t follow googles directions! Enjoy!
@@ErinEssex Thanks Im trying to find some good directions now and will have a map for sure!
If I was extremely rich and owned a tourist railroad I’d buy both of those engines and restore them both to running condition.
Yeah but heavy metal. Let it alone.
Excellent video and great idea adding the history!
Very interesting place and great camera work. Thanks for sharing this.
can't imagine taking them apart then reassembling them. incredible .
I love it! Great job!!! I love history and drone video.
Man I'd love to see them get restored
Having and reading paper maps...a lost art haha
Matthew Belanger lol
Have to. Love paper map. Fun. Bring back memories before gps
These poor rusting ladies deserve at least a Cosmetic restoration
great video. thanks for sharing your trip.
Very cool guys. Could you feel the energy when those trains where alive and working. All the people who climbed those stairs before you. In the silence of the Forrest, only wind in the trees and your footsteps. Live, love, laugh.........Breathe.
I think I heard train horn. Lol
now visit ESSEX Steam train , CT
You should see them in the winter!!!!!
I have been there a few times on snowmobile. that area is beautiful in the winter
enjoyed ty

"Not capable of moving it"
If those locomotives arrived on ship disassembled, then there is your way of moving it
You Should Go To The Bus Festival on June 9
Marc Andre wow that looks incredible! Bummer I won’t be home but I’ll make it on my cal for next year. So neat
Also what a beautiful necklace, such a lovely use of a beautiful thing that wouldn't otherwise have been shown off
Very nice! Thanks for the take along.
I am traveling the country in a converted Toyota Sienna van. Would taking the van be wishful thinking?
Is there still no plans on restoring these engines?
Not gonna happen. Let it rot. It too far away. Unless if u rich

@@scottallen3502 double comment time. I think you need to delete one since for some reason it posted twice
I have Ben here it is really cool
Intresting video! But, why don't they turn the place into a tourist railroad or put the engines in a musem or sell the locomotives to a tourist railroad like strasburg or any other places???
Yea interesting thought! I think its because the location is very very remote - 5 hours from Portland ME and the last 2 hours on seasonal dirt roads with zero cell coverage.
Pulling the trains out of there to get them to a museum would require building a special temporary railroad to move them (that would be long) or disassembling and reassembling them (expensive).
The other idea, making the area into an attraction, would also be cool but its still very remote out there and the amount of money one would have to raise for infrastructure, housing, paving, toilets - could be an enormous cost.
So i think that may be the limiting factor of your suggestions?
To me, I love them how they are today, a treasure to discover in the dense forrest. Its kinda magical in that way, it feels very personal and special.
@@ErinEssex true
I just may
Why do you call them ghost trains?
your know people think this old train think the ghost trains
Beautiful engines but they should’ve been taken and restored not stuck out in the woods somewhere.
😱
I heard train horn. Creepy lol
although the video is great, the spoken history in the video is not correct. Please read Tall Timbers, Tough Men, or speak to a knowledgeable Guide.
Yup, paid the fee, if we get lost the wardens will find us. What, how about being prepared…..
U need book maine map. It worth it
