Take a unique journey along the rails from Thomaston to Waterbury the way your parents and grandparents did! Railroad Museum of New England.
Trains run from the 1881 Thomaston Station south along the scenic Naugatuck River to Waterville. Along the way, your train will run through the unspoiled Mattatuck Forest, cling to Black Rock cliffs, hug the banks of the Naugatuck River, where various forms of wildlife abound, and then pass among massive brass mills, sentinels of New England's rich industrial heritage. Heading back north, the highlight of the trip occurs as the train crosses the face of the spectacular Thomaston Dam, high above the spillway and the river valley below. The 20-mile round trip takes about 1 hour 15 minutes.
