WW&F Plow Extra

Luv it when 10 blows smoke rings like that.

By the way, was this taken near cockeyed curve?

[Joe2568]

@WhyAyeMann Actually, mile post six is on the right in the video. If you look hard enough you can just barely make it out in all the snow. The first curve is the one just before the trestle, and starts the grade up to trask's crossing, which is the one in sight of Alna Center, and has a grade of about 2.5%

I once rode in the cab of 10 a when I was about 5 or 6 it was some of the most fun i have ever had

where is the WW&F-and what does it stand for?

[Joe2568]

The WW&F is a two foot gauge railroad in Alna Maine that is slowly recreating a small piece of Maine's history. The original railroad once ran from Wiscasset Maine, to Albion Maine, 44 miles in length. The railroad today starts near MP 5 and extends about a half mile past MP 7. The WW&F stands for Wiscasset, Waterville, and Farmington. We run steam most weekends in the summer, as long as steam in operational and there is no technical problems.

Great Video.

Is that a double header of a steam and a diesel loco? Must be- why else would there be an air horn...?

[microbusss]

heh about 3:30 the loco blew a smoke ring!

Joe, The man who started it all (if I am not mistaken) gave us a tour back in 98. I loved it!! I believe he has since passed away. I was sorry to hear that. He was real generous with his time. We appreciated it. Nice to see your all keeping the dream alive. To you guys that have found and enjoy this video on You Tube, you should make the trip to check it out sometime. Nothing like the bark of a steam engine under a load. I hope to make it back myself one day. Long live the WW&F!!!

[Joe2568]

Thank you for the excellent comment. The WW&F has a good impression on all first time passengers. Hope to see you there sometime in the near future.

I visited back in 98. Really enjoyed it, wish I lived nearby. Keep up the good work guys.

[Joe2568]

glad you enjoyed the video. This scence is located about a mile from where the track was in 98. It was a lot of fun, and as you can tell by the sound, the steam engine is working for all she's worth.

Kewl video Joe! Steady camera too. Wish I was there.

[Joe2568]

Have you ever visited the WW&F before? My dad was using his truck as a tri-pod. Talk to you later.
