Welcome to the Aroostook Valley Model Railroad.
The Aroostook Valley Railroad (AVRR) began life as a 32 mile Interurban service in Northern Maine, USA, serving the towns of Presque Isle, Washburn and West Caribou with a branch to New Sweden.
The line operated as a trolly passenger service, under wire, from July 1, 1910 until the decline of passenger traffic in the mid 40s when it switched to diesel service on 12 July 1945. The 44 ton GE units, #10, #11 and #12 hauled the freight unitl the line closed in April of 1996.
The Aroostook Valley Model Railroad (AVMRR) continues to operate in HO scale as the AVRR did in September of 1967 with a few "in my world modifications".
Enjoy your visit.
