After having lunch and watching 142 arrive and depart Phillipsburg a couple of times, we went out to catch it on the high iron. The weather wasn't at its greatest, but a little rain didn't stop us! An entire 6-minute stop at the corn maze is included here... as well as some slow-speed "chasing."
Taken August 10, 2008.

Thank you good sir, ... By: AttiK. on 13 Sep 08, 22:08:49 Thank you good sir, but I do realize that my footage is not necessarily riveting, let alone best or even good. Its merely amateur documentation, and I? dont intend to pretend that its anything more. ; )
I appreciate your ... By: AttiK. on 13 Sep 08, 22:01:44 I appreciate your input. I thought that this event might be worthy of documentation if even one or two people might ever find a? use for it, thus its inclusion. I warned folks upfront that there is six minutes of potential tedium involved. : )
Deffinately good ... By: GP9railfan. on 13 Sep 08, 06:42:18 Deffinately good footage here. Especially the running gear in action on the loco.
Attik has some of the best footage out there.
This wasn't a waste of time? at all.
What a waste of ... By: govan44. on 13 Sep 08, 04:38:31 What a waste of time, why bore people with this junk??
August 26, 2008? a railroad excursion of the old school. This trip, organized by the Massachusetts Bay Railroad Enthusiasts, Inc., went from Brunswick, Maine aboard the Maine Eastern Railroad to Rockland, where passengers could take a connecting bus to the Owl Head Transportation Museum to see a real live air show. It was quite a day.
Yes, she does look ... By: AttiK. on 13 Nov 09, 17:55:27 Yes, she does look the part! (Only the long crankpins on the rear drive wheels reveal the adjustment.) I agree, it is a shame that so much of the Maine two-foot gauge has been torn up... but luckily, we have folks like those at the WW&F working to bring a little bit of it back to? life!
I know of a 30" ... By: NVanWendy. on 12 Nov 09, 05:54:17 I know of a 30" loco that? became 36" around my part of the world, but I'm surprised there was enough room to pull IN the wheels 6 inches. At any rate, #10 sure looks the part nowadays. I just love the Maine narrow gauge, and think it's a terrible shame that it was virtually erased from the map along with its engines and rolling stock.
No. 10 is an ... By: AttiK. on 12 Nov 09, 01:32:28 No. 10 is an original, steam era locomotive, though she is not original to the old WW&F, nor was she built to two-foot gauge. I believe she started life as a? 30-inch gauge engine working in the south, and has since been re-gauged. I'm not sure entirely, but Edaville might have made this adjustment before the engine finally found home at the restored WW&F. So, in short, I guess she's a restoration. : )
Is this loco a? ... By: NVanWendy. on 11 Nov 09, 06:01:36 Is this loco a? reproduction of the original, or a restoration?
Taken June 24, 2007, on the Wiscasset, Waterville and Farmington Railway at Sheepscot Station in Alna, Maine. The engine crew kindly offered a cab ride while their engine was running around the train at Alna Center.
I have been to Alna ... By: VtFarmdude. on 21 Jun 10, 02:02:28 I have been to Alna several times over the last few years. I am a tour bus driver. I was hooked as a "Rail Fan" after doing my first tour for Trains Unlimited. This I must say is my favorite museum/working railway i have been to in new england. I would strongly recomend to anyone interested in trains visiting new england to make it there!!! Great? people and they are not afraid to use the equipment the way it was used way back when. none of this 2mph stuff!!
Part 2 of A Day at Steamtown, July 6, 2007...
Take to the ground to watch CPR No. 2317 and its train rattle through the Scranton yards. Guest stars include a trolley from the Electric City Trolley Museum and Boston and Maine Pacific No. 3713, currently undergoing restoration in the Steamtown shops.
