In mid April of 2018, The Wiscasset Waterville & Farmington Railway Museum sponsored their annual spring photographers' special. The star of the show was WW&F #9. On this trip, #9 performed many runbys over the 3.5 mile portage of the original WW&F from Sheepscot Station, the museum's base of operation & main boarding terminus to Top of Mountain. She ran two different consists for 2 sessions of the charter. In the morning, she ran a mixed freight with W&Q coach #3. Then in the afternoon, she ran a regular freight consist with caboose #320 on the rear. If you love narrow gauge steam especially New England steam, then this video will fill your need for a recreational narrow gauge steam railroad that represents a part of railroad history from the late 19th century to late 1920s & early 1930s when the Great Depression took its toll on America's businesses especially the railroads. Enjoy!

You guys have a great little railway there but..... There's one concerning aspect that I noticed and should be addressed as a matter of safety and that was the shunting. Everyone who does the shunting does it different from the next guy. Sooner or later you guys are going to have an accident. The way to overcome this is to ensure that everyone who does shunting does it the same way, not three or four different ways as it's currently done. Just imagine being the poor train driver at present trying to remember who's who and that they do it different from someone else. It's much better if everyone does it the same way as there will no confusion for the train driver and less likelihood of an accident .
