Last weekend the Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington Railway Museum in conjunction with Portland\u2019s Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Company & Museum invited me to a magical event featuring three steam locomotives under steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arctic conditions were tough on fingers and toes, but made for spectacular displays of steam and condensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the stars of the event was former Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington number 9, a legendary machine that had been saved from scrapping many years ago and then stored for decades in a Connecticut barn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was my first visit with old number 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I exposed these photos digitally but I also made use of an old Nikon F3 to exposed both black& white and color film so that future generations may be able to appreciate the cosmic even of January 18-19, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More photos soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special Thanks to Wayne Duffett and Ed Lecuyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
