Stanley Unit Railway Car - Historical Articles Donated
« on: July 08, 2011, 07:57:09 AM »
   Two issues of The Stanley Museum Quarterly, the newsletter of The Stanley Museum, Kingfield, Maine are available for research at The WW&F Museum.  Since The Model T Railcar has now become a regular at our museum in Alna, I felt our members would enjoy access to historical information about a very special steam railcar the Stanley Twins had well on the way to production in the late teens called the Stanley Unit Car. Progress was halted rapidly upon the tragic death of one of the brothers. Consequently little information survived, and as far as I can determine, the history contained in these two issues is about the sum total extant.  These newsletters are a donation by The Stanley Museum and me to the WW&F Library for reference.  Use them as you wish, but of course major reprinting should have permission. http://www.stanleymuseum.org/
           Should any of our members wish copies for themselves, we have some available at Kingfield.  A donation of twenty dollars to cover costs would be appropriate.
           This Unit Railcar was referenced previously on The WW&F Discussion Forum on 11/15/2010 titled George Stephenson, Locomotive Builder.
