With great regret, it has been determined that the rapid spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19 warrants the cancellation of our Touch-A-Train event. The popular family event, originally scheduled for Sept. 11th, should be a safe and fun event for families and especially children. Both New England Steam Corporation and Downeast Scenic Railroad wish the open house to remain just that, and therefore have opted to cancel the event this year rather than compromise the safety of our visitors.

Keeping the virus contained is far more important at this time. We all want to be done with COVID-19, and this is one way to at least do our part.

Thank you for understanding, and please help us spread the word, not the virus!
