I adore these little old work horses and I truly miss the joys of train rides in days gone by. Some day maybe.....

Bill Porter The WW&F runs a few public photo specials with reserved seats like these, as well as a few other events during the year to help recreate what the railroad looked like back in the day.

When I read two-foot winter I thought of a mild snowfall in Maine...

South Coast Rail Videos is number 10 also a Wiscasset Waterville & Farmington railroad engine?
@narrowgaugejoe4189 6 жыл бұрын
TexasRailfan21, #10 is ex Edavile #5, which also ran at Pleasure Island and was originally built as a 30" gauge sugar plantation engine.

Monson #3 was built by the Vulcan Ironworks in 1912. The same year the R.M.S. Titanic sank.

Just curious, do you think this will happen again this year? It may line up with my Christmas break from college.

Is locomotive #3 a new engine? last time I heard they were working on "re-boiling" antother steam engine and I don't remember which one it was. Cool vid nonetheless.
@capecodrailfanvideos9678 7 жыл бұрын
#3 is actually owned by the Maine narrow gauge railroad museum. the locomotive you are thinking about is #10 which is in the process of getting a new boiler constructed. The WW&FRy is also in the process of building a new steam locomotive to resemble WW&FRy #7( a 2-4-4) which will be numbered 11.

Cool! Do you happen to know when #10 will be back on the rails?
@capecodrailfanvideos9678 7 жыл бұрын
The last that I've heard was it was going to be completed in the fall but I'm not 100 percent sure about that.

What are the origins of engine number 10 I know number 9 is the original engine from the Wiscassett Waterville and Farmington Railroad but where did number 10 come from?
@capecodrailfanvideos9678 6 жыл бұрын
TexasRailfan21 10 came from a sugar plantation in southern Louisiana and was re-gauged in the 1960's by the Edaville Railroad from 30" to 24". The WWF purchased 10 from Edaville in the late 1990's.
@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan 6 жыл бұрын
Cape Cod Railfan Videos cool did not know that historically Wiscassett Waterville & Farmington railroad 9 was one of three main 2ft gauge engines that escaped the scrap after most of the main 2-foot railroads were abandoned during the Great Depression. If Only They had enough money to restore the entire rail line that would be pretty cool
@joshedwards961 6 жыл бұрын
Do you think a 2Ft gauge railroad could still pull light freight in the usa and make a good profite ?
@bluefoxy6478 5 жыл бұрын
I would say yes for smaller areas were railroads dont connect too. Small enough to work in the small towns, but still strong enough to pull a good load. You can connect it to other small areas, considering the biggest 2 foot gauge RR was 110 miles long.
