Public comments from this weekend's trains:
welcoming volunteer staff, answer questions and provide history of the railroad. The farmstand at the turn around point was a special surprise.
A wonderful day at the railroad. Shiny black engines, freshly painted cars, new authentic looking buildings - a train fan's paradise. The ride was perfect, sunny and full of steam and cinders. Obviously a lot of preparation to make it a great day for steam enthusiasts. Picnic lunch was great, too!
Great trip really feel like you stepped back in time
Today we rode the Wiscasset Waterville & Farmington Railroad (WW&F) as the first passengers to Milepost 8 since 1933! We rode behind steam locomotive #9 on a Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad (24" between the rails). It was a beautiful trip on a pleasant evening with a stop at Ana, ME for the best Wild Berry Pie ever! It came from Creamed Baking Company Wiscasset, ME. I had to order some to take home!
We had a great time!
Rode the train to Top of the Mountain but walked down to 218 to see all the work that has been done since I was to Trout Brook previously. Was a wonderful day and glad for the reopening! These volunteers are awesome! Sorry I missed the pie but thanks to Bob and Al I got back to Sheepscot Station for my picnic.
We had a good time yesterday riding the Train. Thanks so much.
An amazing chance to experience a time gone by. The Maine "two-footers" are a unique piece of America's railroading past. It is amazing that there is a group of volunteers who are putting so much effort into presenting it to those who are interested. I had a great visit here, and would absolutely recommend a visit and ride through history.
