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.
