Where is Trout Lake? I looked on some Maine maps but didn't find it.

[Mike Fox]

Trout Lake is in my little hometown of Stoneham, Maine.. What a great accomplishment, going where a railroad has never been...just kidding of course, except for the Lake. It is real..

There was a very famous location known as Trout Lake on the long ago Rio Grande Southern in Colorado. It was between Ophir and Lizard Head. I'll bet that's where the HRA folks tripped up.
