The railway Dago junction Skunk Brook Camp is a railway line in Maine ( United States ). It is around three kilometers long. The line was built in the gauge of two feet (610 mm) and is completely shut down.
After the opening of the Eustis Railroad to Berlin Mills in the summer of 1904, some logging camps south of Stratton had no rail connection. To change this, the railway company probably built a branch to Skunk Brook Camp in 1904. The railway line turns south of Stratton from the main line, which ran in the valley of the Dead River , and leads south into a side valley. The Phillips and Rangeley Railroad was responsible for the management . The line was closed in 1909 for economic reasons. Passenger traffic did not take place on the railway, which was designed as a public railway.
