Currently operates a "doodlebug" gas powered coach, a small gas locomotive, a diesel locomotive, and a steam crane. Also restoring to operation a 0-4-0 Baldwin steam switch engine. The latest addition to the railroad is a 35 ton Plymouth gas locomotive. Also at the site are replica railroad buildings, an engine house, a depot, a section house, an old time filling station, an old time general store and an old school from the site of the former rail stop of Viele several miles east of the site and formerly part of the railroad that has been restored. Operates one mile of a line that used to run west from Ft Madison and Viele to Bloomfield, IA and southwestly to Carrolton Mo. It had been hoped at one time in history to make this a route from Chicago to Kansas City, but that never materialized and the line was abandoned in the late 60's. I received this:"This museum has been closed due to the owner's illness. The museum will be auctioned off in June 2008. Thank you to everyone who supported this attraction. Thanks for the memories!"

Comments/Directions:
Below is from MaineBiz
"After two years of disappointing ridership and lack of member support, the Belfast & Moosehead Lake Railroad and Preservation Society is ceasing operations, and is selling its assets and equipment, according to VillageSoup.com.
The 140-year-old Belfast & Moosehead Lake Railroad carried freight through central Maine up to the decline of the freight business in the 1980s, when it became a tourism attraction. The nonprofit Preservation Society was formed in 2005 to run the railroad as a tourist excursion and operate a train museum. But Robert Lamontagne, president of the Belfast Railroad Preservation Society, said the organization did not have enough financial support in grants and membership fees to break even. The railroad has a large overhead due to the expensive equipment and rail operations.
The Maine Department of Transportation, which has a contract with the railroad to offer tourist excursions along a 30-mile stretch of track between Burnham and the Waldo town line, told VillageSoup.com that it would offer up the contract to a new operator if one could be found."
Previous attraction info:
The Belfast and Moosehead Lake RR in Maine actually has two operations, a Budd RDC excursion from Belfast ME and steam or diesel excursion from Unity, ME.
