With the exception of a calendar stuck in reality, yesterday might have been any winter day in 1911. Beautifully manicured right of way, running stream, fir trees in abundance, and a light snow squall made testing a few steaming modifications on #10 a visit to simpler times.

Next weekend is the WW&F winter festival, complete with food, garlands, horse drawn sleighs. It should be an amazing experience.

By juxtaposition, these images were taken with a low end camera phone, and digitally edited. Enjoy.

Richard,

I really like your photos. They look like they were really taken 100 years ago and removed from an old album. Modern black and white photos have a "modern crisp look" about them and yours are not like that. The combination of snow, steam and flatcars look like they could have been taken at Skunk Brook Camp on the Eustis Railroad. Yours are the first I have seen like that. Whatever you are doing, keep it up. I could look at a complete book of them.

Richard - Thanks for posting these photos!! They look great and this is why the WW&F always exceeds it fund raising goal every year!! I could not believe how much they had raised when I received my last newsletter. The members continue to see progress on where their donated money goes!!! I sure wish I could be up there next weekend!!!

Excellent photos, Richard. They do indeed look like old-time photos from a Kodak Brownie.

Well done Richard, well done.

Of course it helps that you have such a class act as the WW&F to serve as the subject.
Amazing people, amazing organization.
