Railroad Museum of New England

From TrainSpottingWorld, for Rail fans everywhere

The Railroad Museum of New England operates the Naugatuck Railroad between Waterville, CT and Thomaston, CT.

Tourist excursions are run several days a week between May and October from the historic Thomaston Station. The 90 minute trip runs between Thomaston Dam and Waterville. Occasional passenger shuttles operate from East Litchfield to Torrington.

Special event trains are run during Fall and Winter months. The railroad participates in the Day Out With Thomas program, usually in August.

Volunteers operate the trains and maintain the locomotives and other rolling stock. The Museum has a program called Engineer For an Hour, which for a fee allows members of the public to operate a locomotive under the guidance of a qualified engineer.
