As of this morning the WW&F Railway fb page has now been liked by over 1,800 people.  This shows how many people see every post of news, photos and historical information we make.

Also - The Work Weekend Report (that went up less than 12 hours ago) has already been seen by over 6,000 people.  Thanks to everyone who has worked to get the WW&F message out.

fb team:

Take a look at fb for Part 2 of the Spring Work Weekend projects.  You'll see a variety of jobs being done and volunteers doing them! 

So far the Work Weekend reports have been seen by nearly 10,000 people.  Thanks to everyone for getting the word out.

Please check the fb page tonight for a look back at the Spring Work Weekend from 2000. That's when we built Sutter's Crossing at the power lines.

Tune in tonight for a look back to 1935 and how sad news was turned around.

 Stewart,  The pictures of the last few weeks show great progress on the engine, along with track work, restroom and garage painting, car barn walls being made ready for the roof trusses, and the shingle mill being moved to the museum.  The Facebook team is doing a great job of spreading the word on the museum.  I always look forward to Thursdays and the weekly report.  Fred L. Kuhns

The Thursday night post was delayed due to storms and power outages in Alna but we managed to put more photos up (thank goodness for generators). 

Check out the fb page for a look at all the work the Downey's have done fabricating new parts and building new brake systems for coaches 3 and 8. The work required both trucks to be rolled out from under the cars.  Coach 8's new brake setup has the south brake wheel braking both trucks, the new system worked very well last weekend.  Harold and Alan's work over the last few days has been on coach 3 and is outstanding.  Many thanks to Team Downey!

A special report is posted about the car storage building.  Have a look to see Fred's unique system for delivering plywood to the top crew.

BTW - As of this morning the museum's fb page now has over 1,900 likes.  This means that over 1,900 people follow us and see every post we make.

Thanks to everyone who has promoted the WW&F on line!!   ;D

Tonight's post is a recap of today's school charter as well as news about the section house project and progress on #9.  One addition to the locomotive's lubrication system may be a surprise to some.

Check the fb page for a special report on the "wedding weekend".  Members Annie and Steve were married at the Alna mtg house and had their reception party at Sheepscot.  A special train ran Saturday evening.  As a gift to the museum, the couple along with their friends built a replica of the Whitefield section house along the upper yard spur. 

Another highlight to the weekend was a visit from the Willy's-Overland-Knight auto club.  The group brought an assortment of antique autos (19 teens into the 1930's) which were displayed in front of the shop.
