The Maine Narrow Gauges (Historic & Preserved) > Maine Narrow Gauge RR Co. & Museum
#3 & #4 History?
Matthew Gustafson:
Any info on both of them? ??? ;) :)
Bill Piche:
Other than what has been said before?
#3 is currently at Boothbay undergoing boiler work (new tubes and some crown sheet strengthening I think) for its Form 4 certification.
#4 is resting in the MNGRR engine house. #4 was winterized like it is every January through April.
MNG is actually having their first winter work-session on Saturday to discuss and begin the years work on #4 and #7.

Wait,... it IS? Last I heard #3 was still up in Philips on the SR&RL museum having it's flues changed.
#7's BOILER was moved to Alna for work BY Boothbay, but unless Bob Troupe forgot to mention it, #3 remains in Phillips.

Possibly me shooting my mouth off a little fast. I will check with the other MNG guys this weekend. But if I heard correctly, #3 is in Boothbay so that they can do the flue work there instead of dragging up to Phillips to do the work.
Stephen Hussar:
Monson 3 is definitely at Boothbay, and B&SR 7's boiler is in Alna. Also, the work being done to No 7's boiler is not being done by Boothbay.
