In the Massachusetts’ Maine attraction portion of this combo, there is a doubleheader with 7 & 8 in 1991, as well as monson 3 & 4 with tons of vintage black & white films primarily from the great snowstorm of 1933, as well as color films of steam in wales on the festiniod railway. One of the locomotives on that international railway, nearly resembles mighty Mac from Thomas. Throughout the history, there are several historic photographs of 2 foot narrow gauge in the 19th century. There are 5 2 foot narrow gauge railroads in regular service: the sandy river & rangely lakes, wiscasset Waterville & Farmington, bidgton & Saco, monson, & kennebec central. Did you know that the B&H was the key future of the edaville as well as WW&F number 9 was originally sandy river 5, & kennebec central 4? More films of numbers 7 & 8 are shown on both fan-trips in original service, & removing the rails of the B&H. Not to mention the 50s 60s & 70s films of the edaville in action. There are also more angles from the June 15, & 16 1991 Railfan weekend as well as the freight special with number 8 carrying a flatbed with a tractor. Did you know that number 8 was the main locomotive for the official original edaville logo? There is also a pair of diesels, & even a motorized railbus. Inspection car number 2 is from the sandy river, & railbus 4 was built in 1925 for both the sandy river & B&H. During the service for monson 4, a visit to the workshop was made as well as an interview with volunteer member Bob howland. Later, a cab ride on monson 4 was included as we took a ride on the original 1945-1991 route before the much shorter 2 mile loop was built in 1999 not to mention some onboard footage from the open air coaches. Listen to the comments from the announcer as well as people enjoying a piece of edaville history that was never used since the 1999 re-opening. The scenery is still beautiful however, not to mention the semaphore signals. One of the spots on the original line is Mt. Urann, followed by peacedale. Some cranberry harvest machines are shown as well. During the October 1991 special, number 7 is pulling both passengers & freight. Which includes a reflection scene. Finally there is a night photo session as the credits roll. |
