The Narcissus as the Sabattus Lake Diner in Sabattus, Maine, circa 1940

The Narcissus is the sole surviving high-speed wooden interurban from the legendary Portland-Lewiston Interurban (PLI). The PLI, known as the “finest and fastest in all New England,” operated between the two major population centers in Maine from 1914 until 1933

One of six luxury interurban cars, all named for flowers, Narcissus served two decades. (1912 -1932)

Theodore Roosevelt was a passenger on the Narcissus on August 18, 1914, between Lewiston and Portland, Maine, while campaigning for the Progressive Party candidates.

Portland-Lewiston Interurban No. 14, Narcissus had been operating on the new electric railroad for less than two months, when former President Theodore Roosevelt was a passenger on a trip between Lewiston and Portland on August 18, 1914. TR is seen here waving from the number two end train door of the Narcissus to the gathered spectators at the Gray, Maine stop.
