W, W, & F #9 in the Snow

Last week was my first time visiting the W, W, & F in Maine. It was also the first time I saw #9. Since we drove up Wednesday night to avoid the storm we had time Thursday to visit the railroad to see if anything was happening. The result was a very special treat. We met Steve who invited us to go for a ride. They had steamed up the 9 to be filmed by a TV station but they canceled because of the weather. Steve said since they already had the engine fired up we might as well go for a ride so Keith, me, and our new friend Sandy, (AKA Bill's mom), all went for a ride. The pictures below are from my very first video I took that day. Steve asked me if I could share my videos with him and I promised I would. The icing on the cake is we all got cab rides!!!

Below are two versions of the photo since I understand many want to see them in gray. Enjoy!
