Woodland Rail

Both ends of the line owned by Woodland Rail are located in the U.S.; the middle section measuring 5.08 mi (8.18 km) is located in Canada. The line runs in the St Croix River valley, crossing the Canada–US border at three locations.

Calais Branch

From its interchange with New Brunswick Southern Railway at the Salmon Falls Railroad Bridge in Calais, the line runs geographically southwest for approximately 2.5 mi (4.0 km) to St. Croix Junction. This portion was formerly part of the easternmost section of the Calais Branch.

Another 12.6 mi (20.3 km) of the former Calais Branch between St. Croix Junction and Ayers Junction remains in place (see rail banking) but is not in service. This track is currently owned by the Maine Department of Transportation in order to preserve the rail infrastructure should service be restored to the port of Eastport.

Woodland Spur

From St. Croix Junction, the line continues southwest up the St. Croix River valley as the Woodland Spur. 1.75 mi (2.82 km) at Baring, Maine, the line crosses from the south (west) bank of the St. Croix River to the north (east) bank at Upper Mills New Brunswick on the Baring Railroad Bridge.

The line then continues northwest for 5.08 mi (8.18 km) in New Brunswick to Mohannes, New Brunswick where it crosses back to the south (west) bank of the St. Croix River at Woodland Junction on the Sprague Falls Railroad Bridge.

At Woodland Junction, an industrial spur runs south for 1 mi (1.6 km) to serve the Woodland Pulp, LLC thermo-mechanical pulp mill in Baileyville. The Woodland Spur continues northwest for 1 mi (1.6 km) to the current end of track at an oriented strand board mill.
