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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
