Maine Eastern Railroad Murder Mystery Trains

• Maine Eastern Railroad

Maine Eastern Railroad presents trackside whodunits in 2008. New productions will be performed on the rolling steel-wheeled stage for the popular Murder Mystery Train series. Plays include The Race, August 15, where the greatest drivers from all over the globe board the train prior to a cross country race, but murder and mystery are behind every wheel. On September 19, Reunion Die-et features a high school reunion where revenge for wrongs done back in school days has taken a step too far. On October 17, Death on the Opera Train, where a group of opera performers and fans are traveling by train to a grand performance, when jealousy rears its murderous musical head. The backdrop for these dramas is perfectly set against the beauty of the fully restored art deco design of vintage railroad coaches as the train makes its way on the rails through Wiscasset and Bath, eventually ending in Brunswick. Maine Eastern Railroad Murder Mystery Trains depart from the historic Rockland passenger station at 4 Union Street on Train Number Three at 3:55 PM. Tickets are available in advance or on the date of the performance, but reservations are suggested. Coach Class tickets are $40 for Adults of all ages; and $20 for Children aged 5 through 15.
