Hi Folks, Videographer Steve Hussar has just posted a new video of last weekend's WW&F annual picnic. It contains 3:45 minutes of delightful narrow gauge trains running through beautiful Maine countryside and includes some sepia-tone sequences that will knock your socks off. Check it out at the attached link. Best Regards, Glenn http://www.railwayvideo.org/ |

Thanks, Glenn. It really was a terrific weekend. I don't recall ever seeing so many smiling faces, especially after the photo freight rolled by, and Julius (the station agent) exited the scene into the station... |

Beautiful! This is almost the ideal for volunteer preservation...everyone having fun and fellowship while preserving rail history. Plus, and a big one at that, the effort really reflects the flavor of the place. I love it when the unique cultural identity of region can come out this way. by gosh, thats what I think of when I visiualize Maine. I will also observe that it is no accident that the United Kingdom is covered in two foot (give or take) railways, it's a manageable size. I have got to get up to Maine and see some Yankee narrow guage railroading! |

Stephen, what an elegant job of documenting the WW&F! This film clip alone should put every railfan visitor to Maine on notice as to the treasure being reborn in the woods between Sheepscot and Alna. I particularly loved the sepia opening and ending to the film. Dick And while commercials a not generally laced in the group, any live steam railroad museum should consider contacting Stephen Hussar to professionally document the operation. |
