Right on the K&P trail, in the village of Sharbot Lake you will come across this excellent and educational outdoor museum of long gone Kingston/Pembroke railroad.

At one point this station was crossing point of two major railroads and life was busy. Business was booming. Now, Sharbot Lake is sleeping beauty on the shores of the lake, mostly visited by the fisherman and occasional bikepacker.

Museum displays many artefacts from life and work of railroad workers from end of 19th century.

There are few displays of interesting history notes from the station master book about events on the railroad.

In 1939 there were so many caterpillars on the tracks that train started slipping on the uphill and stopped. Two train attendants had to sit on the front bumper with brooms and sweep the tracks while engineer was driving very slow. They made it!

Enjoy and respect.
