Pros: So easy!! a 22 minute relaxing ride from Wells Maine to Old Orchard Beach. No hassles with having to find a parking space at the beach. Bought new beach chairs and no problem to bring them on the train. Its a no brainer to take this trip! Tips: $5 each way per person- bargain! Staff is helpful and friendly. If you have young children- this is a short enough trip so they don't get board, but long enough that it feels like an adventure.
