The 2 Cent Bridge and Other Sights in Waterville

After SAPPI-4 and lunch, we headed to the riverfront area of Waterville. This area was by far the nicest place in Waterville. Several signs warned about a local moth infestation. There was a fascinating sculpture that symbolizes the different parts of Waterville, but I can’t recall what each piece stands for. After checking out the […]

In this video I share the staging yard progress on my layout. I filmed this a couple of hours before I hit 300, so you won’t hear my excitement in the video… On another note, I will be going live tonight at 8:30 Eastern, so be sure to tune in on my YouTube channel for […]

A Monster in the Night (NMWA In Waterville, ME)

The night we arrived in Waterville, we headed down to the yard to see if anything was happening. We found NMWA had arrived in the yard, preparing to cut its train. We moved west of the yard to catch it making its switching moves. To be completely honest, Waterville isn’t the, err, prettiest town I’ve […]

Waterville, Maine: SAPPI-4 and More Pan Am Action!

Wednesday, July 21st found us in Waterville, ME for the day. After breakfast, we headed down to the yard to find an interesting lashup idling by the office. The Pan Am “Pink Elephant” had lead POWA (Portland-Waterville) that morning. What the locomotive… The yard crew moved the three locomotives to the shop lead and began […]

Back in Wells for the 7 O’Clock Meet

After catching the Vermonter in White River Junction, we headed straight to the beach… and I mean straight there. We were too late to catch AYPO, the northbound freight, anyway… After dinner, we headed to the Wells Transportation Center for the 7 PM meet. This is the only time in the day when a pair […]

White River Junction, VT and the Return of the Vermonter

This past Tuesday my family and I took a short trip to Waterville Maine (on business). Follow along as we catch a few trains in New England.

A Few Photos of Jim Lafayette’s Layout

I’ll be sharing more photos and stories soon, but until then, here are a few photos I grabbed of his incredible layout. I’ll be back with more content soon. Until then, don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel […]

Prototype Day at the Adirondack Live Steamers

Yesterday was prototype day at the Adirondack Live Steamers. Among other things, which I’ll share later, we made the trip south to see what prototype operations on a 7.25 in gauge railroad is all about. When we arrived, all the trains were tied down as the crews ate their lunch. I began to walk the […]

Chasing CP Heritage Unit 7013 on the D&H!

Yesterday, I got word that CN 3023, the EJ&E heritage unit, was on CN 324 out of St. Albans. Not wanting to pass this up, we got ready to head north. Just before we left, though, I heard that 650 was coming south from Montreal with CP 7013, a CP heritage unit! We headed north […]

Staging Yard Ready for Legs!

After working here and there, on and off, for the past few days, the staging yard is finally ready for legs. The main reason I haven’t built legs yet is that I can’t decide how many it should have. Two legs on the edge, and anchor it to the wall, or four legs (and still […]

(Video) CN SD70I Trails on 931!

Just a short catch in this video, a close 931 in Port Kent. -Harrison

Staging Yard Progress…

This weekend I was able to cut the wood for my layout’s staging yard. The dimensions will be 12 inches by 6 feet. Hopefully by next weekend, things will be up in the air (literally). Stay tuned… -Harrison
