Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington 9

Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington 0-4-4T no. 9 is perhaps the most historic of the surviving Maine 2-footers. Built in Maine by the Portland Locomotive Works, this 1891 Forney type served the Sandy River Railroad as their number 5, then Sandy River & Rangely Lakes as their number 6, and finally Kennebec Central as their number 4, before being sold to the original WW&F in 1933 and becoming their number 9. After the closure of the WW&F only a year later, no. 9 was sold to Mr. Frank Ramsdell, who moved her to his farm in Connecticut. She remained there until 1995 when Mr. Dale King, heir to the Ramsdell estate, loaned the engine to the WW&F Railway Museum in Alna, Maine. No. 9 holds the distinction of being the only surviving steam Locomotive of either the SR&RL, the most famous of the Maine two-foot lines, or the Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington, as well as being the last surviving two-footer built by the Portland works.
