ASL-100 11-17-08 X5

Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine, is restoring the 1906 Atlantic Shore Line electric locomotive No. 100. This clip is another in the current "Randy Cam" series. Randy Leclair takes us through the various steps to installing the axle bearings. Video images captured by Randy Leclair and edited by Phil Morse. This project is funded in large part with resources made available through the Maine Department of Transportation via the Federal Transportation Enhance Act of the 21st Century (TEA-21). Matching funds were raised from a variety of sources, including a large number of generous Museum volunteers. Significant donations came from Amherst Railway Society, Kennebunk Savings Bank, National Railway Historical Society, Saco & Biddeford Savings Institution, Kennebunkport Business Association, Ocean National Bank, and The 470 Railroad Club. The major local sponsor for the project is the H. Albert Webb Memorial Railroad Preservation Award made available through the Massachusetts Bay Railroad Enthusiasts, Inc. (Mass Bay RRE).
