- WW&F #9 and Monson #3 put on a show for us photographers, recreating the two-foot gauge railroading that was once the mainstay of the remote corners of Maine.
The WW&F is an ever expanding 1:1 scale recreation of the original Wiscasset, Waterville and Farmington Railway based in Alna, Maine. Consider visiting their museum, going for a train ride, or even donating or volunteering! Visit their website:

Great camera work. Thanks
The opening sequence as No.9 accelerates her train is superb. Whoever set her valves did a good job - nice and square.
Great video! Thanks for producing it. Please come and visit the Sheepscot Valley Narrow Gauge again soon.
Thank you! Your compliments mean a lot! I hope to return someday soon. :)
Poetry in motion. : )
Thank you Joseph for sharing your gift of film.
Clearly the Maine Event!
Thank you to all the volunteers.
An outstanding video of an amazing scenic railway I'm proud to be a member; thank you so much for shooting it and share it. I love the black and white shooting of the run through freight train at Alna Center. Congratulations and come soon on the WW&F.
That was one of my favorite scenes as well. The antique car and the smoke coni out of the chimney at Alna center were so perfect. The WW&F is a magical place. I hope to come back soon!
Absolutely amazing railroad equipment. Love the 2 Footers!
Excellent video! I've seen few people utilize a regular ole puddle to make one hell of a shot. This is certainly one of the best videos on the WW&F
Love the maine 2ft narrow gauge
Awesome video! Those little 2-footers are so underrated!
They can really get up and go, too!
Great video, Joe! It’s almost like you traveled back in time to get some of these shots!
Built by the Portland Company in 1891 in Portland Maine, locomotive 9 originally ran for the Sandy River Railroad as engine #5. It later operated on several different railways with different road numbers, such as SR&RL #6, Kennebec Central #4 in 1924, and as WW&F #9 in 1933. Acquired from the WW&F Railway in 1995 where it went through a twenty-year restoration, it returned to active service in the spring of 2016 where it now operates excursion trains for the railway.
Wow. I am speechless! Incredible production quality! Great videography as well! All around wonderful video! 12/10!
Nice video! I’ve been here as well and the people there are so nice. Keep up the great work, your videos are always a masterpiece.
Another fantastic production. Amazing work, Joe!
Nice one, Joe! Great sound on these guys
Fantastic production!
An excellent video. Great photography, helped by some great sound effects and steam displays by the loco crew!
Wonderful video!!!
Love this! I haven’t seen the channel in a while but this was splendid!
Awesome, very well done.
Stunning footage! Great job!
Not everyday you get the chance to photograph trains this size
How have you not been hired to work on a documentary yet?
That is one bouncy flat car
i thought so as well lol its kinda amsuzeing lol
Proper speed on proper narrow gauge!
It’s so cute! I wanna pet it lol
It is quite the pocket rocket!
What whistle is that @0:55? It sounds absolutely magnificent.
It is a single chime. I believe it was custom made for #9. Perhaps someone from the WW&F can “chime” in.
It's a in-house copy of a 6 inch Portland Company style single note. It was made from patterns created from PortCo drawings by a WW&F member and machined by another member.
Cool video!! I thought #3 was down for her FRA inspection. Also, any news on when they will start working on expanding the line?
It is down, this was one of its last runs before its inspection. They are working on it now! The whole railroad is nothing short of a success story. Can’t wait to return.
Hi from Green Bay. GO Packers!! Do you have a mail car R.P.O. It would be great if you could catch the mail on the fly. Plus, have the station agent hoop up some train orders ok. Thank you. GOD bless the U.S.A!!!!!
Did you know that there were trains in Mexico
