Bill Piche:
Maine Narrow Gauge will be running Friday evening trains for the final 3 weekends in October.

Come on by and see Monson 3 in action Friday evenings (20th and 27th) and the final two weekends of the month (21/22 & 28/29).

Stephen Piwowarski:
Hi Bill,

Is this the first time. MNG is running autumn evening trains? As I'm sure you've seen, we ran one 2 Saturday weekends ago and were quite pleased with the turnout. I'm hoping to get down to ride one of them. Either way, best of luck welcoming No. 3 back in Portland

Mike Fox:
Sounds like a great time.

John Scott:
From Melbourne, in Spring, I have been enjoying the Fall colours in the background of various photographs, including those from the FWW. Now I am intrigued to note that "Autumn" is within the accepted terminology, after all!

I did see that. I actually delayed putting this up on the forum until after the apple trains were done so that there wasn't any sort of conflicting ads on the forum.

MNG used to run a night train the last weekend before Halloween but that was usually with diesel power and didn't have lights in the cars. It hasn't been done for years, though. I believe what made it a Halloween train was that they put the flat car on the train with a blow up pumpkin. Not sure what else they did for that.
