Part of a now-defunct complex I never understood, this ex-Great Northern "Ranch" car sits at Biddeford, Maine. http://photos.nerail.org/showpic/?photo=2004071823111724484.jpg&bydate%3A11 ryarger@rypn.org |

There was also a two-foot gauge train ride, decorated in GN colors. http://photos.nerail.org/showpic/?photo=2004071823060024059.jpg&bydate%3A12 ryarger@rypn.org |

I remember these on the Empire Builder. I wonder how many are around. I would think they would make great snack bar/lounge cars for excusion service. |

This is the same location in Biddeford, Maine that also has a shay on display. I beleive the owner was Ralph Day who I beleive passed away a while back. The Shay (former Horseshoe Forrestry) is still on the site. I have no idea what the plans are for the 2 ft. gauge railroad, equipment etc. shay at Biddeford Station tchjjjj@aol.com |

I believe that Mr. Day once served as a member of the Board of Directors of Seashore Trolley Museum. Also I recall that he was a retired UPS executive. Brian Norden bnorden49@earthlink.net |
