LEWISTON — Rails Restaurant at 103 Lincoln St. announced Tuesday that it will be closed “until further notice.” 

The announcement on its Facebook page read: “Dear Rails Family, due to unforeseen circumstances, Rails will be closed until further notice. We are working on contacting our customer reservations and vendors.”

“Please be patient with us while we plan how to proceed. Thank you for your understanding. Rails Management.”

In a message to the Sun Journal, management said, “Ileshea Stowe is currently evaluating the current business plan and the future of Rails. Please be patient during that process. More to come. Thank you for your understanding during this time.”
