Amtrak Downeaster

About Us

The Amtrak Downeaster is your car-free connection from Brunswick, Maine to Boston, Massachusetts and beyond. Make the most of every moment. Sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery of northern New England. Whether you’re on a daytime adventure, business trip or just going to the game, there are so many reasons to take the train.

The safety of our passengers is our top priority. Amtrak has implemented new cleaning and disinfecting protocols nationwide that are in place on Downeaster trains. Crews and passengers are required to wear a face covering while in stations, while boarding and onboard the train. Stations have been updated with signage and other enhancements to promote public health and physical distancing. The number of passengers per train is limited to 50% of capacity so riders are able to adhere to CDC physical distancing guidelines.
