Dave,
If you plan to honor me by stopping at the Alna FD for breakfast, be sure to get the Kielbasa and sauerkraut omelet.  That and a cup of coffee should ensure you work alone.  :o)

Well James at least we are moving in the right direction.  The more that gets done the closer we will be to the time when we can move more of the rolling stock under cover and away from the affects of mother nature.

Dave,
Don't forget to bring sauerkraut too.  Oh, and maybe some pierogi?  I doubt Carl will have either on-hand.

Mike,
That first description surely sounds like what we observed.  Especially the part you noted about the water flowing out the one side while staying puddled on the other. The water did seem to be coming from nowhere except under the roadbed. Sounds like another trip could be on the agenda to find the second spring, eh?

Dave,
Only if you wear a loop of kielbasa below your neck that forms a bulls-eye.

John,
I just went to the WCSH website and found contact information for the "207" part of their broadcast.  If someone were to contact them via this email address perhaps a copy or permission or both could be obtained. The address is: 207@wcsh6.com

Too bad we can't import those beavers to wiscasset and harness the little blighters to move rail and ties.  Those beavers were certainly industrious when they dammed-up that body of water.  There must have been nearly a foot of water standing higher than the roadbed on the east side of the ROW. I'll bet the openings that we made on the west side of the ROW are all filled in again.

Steve,
That moose looks like he's grinning. He knows he won't be providing the sandwiches. No, I will not be attending, kielbasa sandwiches or not. This weekend is my time to pick up leaves.  I don't have any Guido's to send away to school nor a daughter to at home to help me like Dave does. Have fun re-laying the mainline guys and take plenty of pictures for those of us who can't make it.

Pete,
You may have waited too long to view the video.  I suspect it has been pulled from their history.

Dave,
Unless there's plenty of Kielbasa and sauerkraut I don't think I could bring myself to attend.  Mmmm.  By the way, where were you on Sunday?  We did get coupons to eat in Bridgton although Kielbasa was not on the menu.

I had a great time too.  Just listening to the others discussing previous finds and details of the B&SR that are not printed in any books (yet) was very interesting. Meeting Bill Shelly and having the opportunity to view the track plans was intersting.  The track plans seemed very helpful in locating exactly where we were along the ROW.  Thanks Bill.  Had a great time and would love to do more if the opportunity arises.

PS: The t shirts Bill had are nicely printed with the "Return of the Rails" logo.

Brian,
Was that F150 a late 80's/early 90's model?  If so you may be correct.  Those years of Ford trucks did indeed have a wiring problem that Ford was VERY reluctant to own up to.  Usually burned the wiring under the dash, the dash and sometimes wrecked the front window.  Know of this first hand.  Of course if the truck is newer then the fault may lie with............

Sheese! You guys are tough.  Especially my buddy Dave.  Kielbasa and saurkraut sandwich?  Whew. Okay, I got it.  Just wondering.  I didn't get this svelte shape from skipping lunch.  LOL  See you all on Sunday.

Since I was not able to make previous ROW visits I was wondering how lunch is handled.  Skip lunch? Bring lunch? Pick up lunch?  I'm pretty sure the WW&F lunch crew won't be attending.
