WCVB Chronicle Monday, July 18th
« on: July 16, 2022, 03:41:27 AM »
It looks like the WCVB-TV Chronicle episode on Wiscasset, including our Railway, will air at 7.30 p.m. Monday, July 18th.  Hopefully the Museum segment will be posted online.

Brilliant, just brilliant.  I just watched the first 10 minutes, two segments, which focused on the WW&F, followed by Don and Marsha Lyons and SeaLyon Farm.

I expect WCVB will post links to these segments on their website and YouTube later this evening.

I though it was great. Naturally I would have liked a full 30 minutes on the WW&F, but I thought the selected minutes were a good synopsis and very well done. Congratulations to Steve and Dave!

It was very well done. I like how they mention that everyone is volunteer and so many other terrific highlights.

As Dave said, we are truly a very fortunate group, with many diversified talents among us.

Hi All
I send a suggestion to Chronicle about the WW&F a few weeks ago, maybe about doing a short segment on the railroad. I also suggested them on doing a short segment, on New England Steam Corporation and the rebuilding of Maine Central 470.
I watched the program last night and I think that Chronicle did and excellent job, on the railroad, the farm segment, and Maine itself. So if you wondered where Chronicle got the idea I send them the  suggestion, Pat.

It turns out that Chronicle keeps a file of suggested places to visit, and there had been many calls on them to visit the WW&F over the years.

In this case, they had decided to profile Wiscasset, which led them to the WW&F. Initially, they were curious about using the handcar - and then discovered we we much more interesting beyond just that one tidbit. (They didn't even mention the handcar in the final cut!)

And it was.  Good to see it again tonight, particularly after seeing all the railway volunteers interviewed this past soggy Saturday.

I hope the rebroadcast helps boost SeaLyon Farm's lavender days patronage in July, after cancellation of Saturday's Father's Day BBQ at the farm.  I also hope many choose to visit the farm via train.
