Waterblogged

Sad to say that the Muscongus and Penobscot Railroad in Weld has been brought to a standstill this summer by "Olde Mom Nature". Due to the late snow melt (middle of May), and 38 inches of rain since the beginning of june to this writing (still raining) we have only been able to run trains on two days, July 18 and July 26. Needless to say, the train running season has been a washout so far and garden maintenance has been a fulltime chore . Certainly hope that the later half of August and the autumn see a major shift in the weather patterns or the line may have to be embargoed until next year! Hope you are not all experiencing the amazing amount of water we are. Keep the faith and the trains will run again! One positive sign was that with all this extreme weather, when we did run trains on those two days, all it took was a brief track cleaning and everything operated flawlessly.
