The WW&F Railway Museum had its annual Victorian Christmas train day last weekend. I took some nice photos and a little video with my little pocket sized digital camera. After fooling on the computer for an hour or so, i was able to create this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN-0-DqC-TYOld number 10 was built as a plantation engine to work sugar cane down south. she was re-gauged by the Edaville Railway and re-built by the WW&F railway museum. Right now they are working on WW&F #9 which served the railway breifly in the 1930's having served the Kennebeck central and the Sandy River and SR&RL. It is the only remaining Portland built maine 2 footer.
A farmer from Darmiscotta brought three of his Norwegian Fjord Horses to pull a cart (not quite enough solid snow for the sleigh.) They are beautiful horses and very well kept and well trained.
The snow was about 6 inches of fine powder and the air was cold making for very nice steam railway photography.
