Traveling west from Rockland, the rail passes through Thomaston along the St. George River to south Warren where it dips inland along ponds and marsh to cross Route one at Waldoboro in sight of Moody’s Diner. Then, trending inland some more, it continues along the shores of Damariscotta Lake, south along Salt Bay and into the town of Newcastle.
