In 1995, our family rented a house on Damariscotta Lake and while my son and I were exploring we came upon a little railroad station and a funny looking 1/3 portion of a car shop - but what stopped us was the very short stretch of two-foot gauge track outside the station.
Just as we pulled off the road to get a better look, a young fellow came out of the car shop. We approached him and asked - isn't this the original railroad grade that the two-foot steam locomotive stored in a barn in Connecticut came from? And Jason answers, "yeh, do you want to see it?"
Started volunteering that summer and Bruce Wilson helped "mentor" me into the organization. Been hooked ever since.
