One of Maine’s original and most historically-rich transportation modes remains a reliable, economical and comfortable travel option today.

The Downeaster, Amtrak’s sleek, new passenger train serving Northern New England, provides four round trips daily between the Portland Transportation Center and Boston's North Station, with eight stops in between:

• Portland, Maine (Portland Transportation Center)
• Old Orchard Beach, Maine
• Saco, Maine
• Wells, Maine
• Dover, New Hampshire
• Durham-UNH, New Hampshire
• Exeter, New Hampshire
• Haverhill, Massachusetts
• Woburn, Massachusetts
• Boston (North Station)

On board you can relax and watch the beautiful New England scenery outside your window, while enjoying sandwiches, snacks and drinks available from the Café Car. The trip between Boston and Portland takes approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. Downeaster stops have inter-modal transportation facilities so you can easily continue on to Bar Harbor, Acadia, Kennebunkport, Freeport, and scores of other Maine destinations. The Portland Transportation Center also serves as  the main terminal for Concord Trailways.
