Description
The track for the Green Mountain Rail Road going up Green Mountain. The rail was reached after taking a steamer across Eagle Lake and being dropped at the dock seen at the base of the mountain.
The train was a popular summer attraction, but didn't last very long.
Green Mountain is now called Cadillac Mountain and is one of the main attractions of Acadia National Park.
