Recently, we visited the abandoned trains at Eagle Lake. Angela Quintal-Snowman writes (2016) in a BDN article, "A historical echo of Maine’s lumbering past can be seen in the Northern Maine Woods in the Allagash Wilderness. Abandoned in the 1930’s, two steam locomotives remain in their final resting spot in a clearing in the Northern Maine Woods next to Eagle Lake.

The locomotives were part of the Eagle Lake & West Branch Railroad and were used from 1927 to 1933. When the railroad ceased operations, both locomotives were considered obsolete and too expensive to transport out of the woods and were left stored in a shed where they sit today. The shed has since been burned, but many echoes of the rich history of this logging operation can still be seen scattered throughout the woods surrounding the locomotives "
