Ted Miles:
Andrew,
            To the best of my knowledge there is no Maine two-foot equipment at the New Jersey Museum of Transport. There are a couple of industrial two-foot Diesels in the collection. And they have leased a couple of steel mill locomotives to the Maine Narrow Gauge Museum.  I do not know if any of those are operational at Portland.

Memories from back then can get fuzzy. I'd suggest maybe reaching out to rail history buffs or even local forums in the areas the B&SR operated. They might spot some landmarks in your shots.

Keith's information is right on and Edgar covered alot of ground in his years as an enthusiast. Some will recall that he had a two footer on his own property in New Hampshire. The line was written about in old issues of The Two Foot Gage Owners Association (TFGOA) newsletter. Edgar named his railroad the Etna & Montreal, though thar Canadian city was never reached by his rail gang.
