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
