Historic Thomaston Station, featured in the Leonardi DiCaprio-Kate Winslet film “Revolutionary Road,” is home to the RMNE, which has operated tourist trains since the 1990s. Diesel locomotives pulling vintage coaches take passengers south on the former Naugatuck Railroad to the Waterville section of Waterbury, and then back, rolling through scenic sections of the Naugatuck River Valley and past remnants of the region’s industrial past. The trains pass by Thomaston Station for a dramatic final flourish—a slow glide across the towering Thomaston Dam. A newer route takes riders north to Torrington, and there are lots of seasonal and special events.
