Welcome Jay,
There's plenty of learning and exploring opportunities for you to enjoy. The museum is doing a great job of preserving history and making it available to the public. You will like being a part of the volunteer groups that help to make it all happen. I am a relatively new volunteer and have learned many different and interesting things related to the railroad and their operations. I encourage you to join and hope to see you volunteering in the near future.

He looks more like he is concentrating on a very important job not unhappy. When I saw them at Alna Center he was very happy!

Hi all,
I just recently became a member and started volunteering on Saturdays and Tuesdays. I grew up in Danville Junction, Maine, a major switching yard for the Maine Central and Grand Trunk railroads, when steam was on its way out. I could always tell the rare occasion when a steam engine was coming through by the sound of the whistle. I would hop on my bike and rush to the junction to watch the train. I have a large "old school" HO layout with all brass tracks and transformer based on the Maine Central in the 1970's. I recently retired from the printing industry where I ran a printing press for over 40 years and also as a volunteer firefighter in New Gloucester, ME where I maintained the town's original 1928 Model A firetruck. I am the treasurer of the Squirrel Island Historical Society and enjoy preserving history. I am looking forward to helping out the museum and learning more about railroad operations.
