It looks like a metal bar bent into a shallow S, with a hole at one end, for the pin to drop through.

I'm guessing that, at some point, the logs will be loaded onto a flatcar and delivered to Sheepscot?

I  take it that the car can be dumped manually, if there is no way to activate the vacuum system.

Looks like there's potential for some nice white pine lumber.

I thought that might be the baggage car. Thanks for the confirmation.

It appears in Mike Fox's photo of Saturday's N. bound train The Ladder could use a bit of maintenance.

Museum Discussion / Re: How did you hear of the W.W. & F. Ry. Museum?

I drove up to Maine in 1992 to see the Sandy River operation. There was a train show in Portland, so I stopped in to see what I might find. There was a fellow from the 470 Club with a table. On it were some newsletters from the Sheepscot Valley Railroaders. He gave me a couple and mentioned that the museum had only been around for a few years. I went looking for it, and like James, I must have driven down every road but Cross Rd.

Back home, I wrote to the president, Joe Roozicki (phonetic spelling), and expressed an interest in joining the museum. In the summer of 1993, I met Joe in Gardiner, and he led me to the museum. There I met Bruce, and he and I set the ties in bays 2 and 3 of the old car shop.
With the exception of 2020, I been coming up every year since then

In the picture of Roger and Wes prepping Number 9 it looks like Roger is reading a manual. Not a good sign. ::)

It looks like a Sudoku puzzle book. 8)

How about some solar powered lighting for the sign at night?

That's a neat idea, John.
