too bad edaville cast off the steamers , it was the steamers why edaville was created. thank you for sharing and saving these locos and trains . ooohhh , that whistle at 5:22 !! ohm myyy.
Bill Porter The WW&F runs a few public photo specials with reserved seats like these, as well as a few other events during the year to help recreate what the railroad looked like back in the day.
Is locomotive #3 a new engine? last time I heard they were working on "re-boiling" antother steam engine and I don't remember which one it was. Cool vid nonetheless.
#3 is actually owned by the Maine narrow gauge railroad museum. the locomotive you are thinking about is #10 which is in the process of getting a new boiler constructed. The WW&FRy is also in the process of building a new steam locomotive to resemble WW&FRy #7( a 2-4-4) which will be numbered 11.
I would say yes for smaller areas were railroads dont connect too. Small enough to work in the small towns, but still strong enough to pull a good load. You can connect it to other small areas, considering the biggest 2 foot gauge RR was 110 miles long.
What are the origins of engine number 10 I know number 9 is the original engine from the Wiscassett Waterville and Farmington Railroad but where did number 10 come from?
TexasRailfan21 10 came from a sugar plantation in southern Louisiana and was re-gauged in the 1960's by the Edaville Railroad from 30" to 24". The WWF purchased 10 from Edaville in the late 1990's.
Cape Cod Railfan Videos cool did not know that historically Wiscassett Waterville & Farmington railroad 9 was one of three main 2ft gauge engines that escaped the scrap after most of the main 2-foot railroads were abandoned during the Great Depression. If Only They had enough money to restore the entire rail line that would be pretty cool
Words fail me! Just beautiful.
I adore these little old work horses and I truly miss the joys of train rides in days gone by. Some day maybe.....
A beautiful preserved railway, great little locos, a pleasure to enjoy. Good work all concerned. Thank you from Aussie fan
What a gem!
Fantastic, really enjoyable. Visiting the WW&F is on my bucket list.
WOW! One of the best videos I've ever seen! Excellent job!
Two great steam engines running together great video and keep up the good work
Fantastic little railroad!
Absolutely beautiful! Very well done!
So cute. I want a 1 footer for around my house.
Excellent footage! Keep up the great work! Hopefully they do this with 9 & 10 when 10 is back.
And hopefully they'll have 11 running too.
South Coast Rail Videos is number 10 also a Wiscasset Waterville & Farmington railroad engine?
TexasRailfan21, #10 is ex Edavile #5, which also ran at Pleasure Island and was originally built as a 30" gauge sugar plantation engine.
narrowgauge joe that's right I remember it from The Mark 1 video about the Maine 2 foot Gauge railroads
Great little railway. I only wish I was there excellent video. Jim

Well, under new ownership, Edaville had been operating 3 for a year or so! they run 3 with #11, the Porter 0-4-0.
Excellent!
wow, woulda' liked to have seen these operations in their heyday.
amazing to think these were a viable transport system.

Great job! I'd like to visit the WW&F soon.
Very nice work!

5:08 .... That whistle...
Phenomenal!!!

Now this is what the people want
super!!!!!
When I read two-foot winter I thought of a mild snowfall in Maine...
very nice. What is the gauge of this narrow gauge railroad?

Cool! Do you happen to know when #10 will be back on the rails?
The last that I've heard was it was going to be completed in the fall but I'm not 100 percent sure about that.
Do you think a 2Ft gauge railroad could still pull light freight in the usa and make a good profite ?
I would say yes for smaller areas were railroads dont connect too. Small enough to work in the small towns, but still strong enough to pull a good load. You can connect it to other small areas, considering the biggest 2 foot gauge RR was 110 miles long.

Just curious, do you think this will happen again this year? It may line up with my Christmas break from college.
How long does the railroad run?
Monson #3 was built by the Vulcan Ironworks in 1912. The same year the R.M.S. Titanic sank.
