Worldwide Narrow Gauges > Massachusetts' Two Footers
Remaining SR&RL, BS&R, and WW&F rolling stock and engines still at Edaville?
Matthew Gustafson:
Does anyone think #7 should one day revist Edaville? ??? ::) :)
Mike Fox:
Transporting a loco the size of #7 can get costly. Luckily a lot of the trucking was donated when the collection was moved north.
Pete "Cosmo" Barrington:
I for one have no desire to see #7 or #8 return to Edaville anytime soon. I also have no desire to visit Edaville in it's current incarnation or pay the now prohibitavely exhorbitant price of admition they now charge.
It is in fact less expensive for me to travel to Maine, even as expensive as gas is these days.
Vincent "Lightning" LeRow:
Edaville in its current form is a twisted form of Atwood's once blissfull dream. It withered and died under poor management and what grew from the ashes is a rather dark and shallow representation of what once was. I think the management is trying, but they must have awfully little to work with, such that they cannot maintain low admision prices, steam locomotives, and wooden coaches. we all know how much work and capitol this takes. And unfortunantly a buisiness cant always justify nostalga...
Bill Sample:
Edaville acquainted many of us with the Maine 2 footers for the first time. Maybe it was not the best example of historic preservation, but it did keep a good portion of the remaining equipment at one location which may have helped the current phase of preservation.
I wish the current Edaville the best, but it has nothing of interest to draw me back there. I'll remember my final visit: the day of Fred Richardson's surprise 80th birthday party, with special guest star ex B&HR #7, and the entire main line was in service.
