WW&F Victorian Christmas 2017 >>>Photos<<<

Folks,

On Saturday, December 16th, the WW&F Railway Museum held the first of its two Victorian Christmas events up in Alna, Maine. Each year, the museum hosts this event to thank the local community for its support. The event features free train rides, horse-drawn wagon/sleigh rides, visits with Santa Claus, hot drinks and treats....and a number of activities for the young folks. In the past, this has been just a one-day event, but over the years, it has grown to the point where a second date has been added to manage the crowds. The first of these events featured mostly sunny skies, very chilly air (about 15F in the morning) and a fresh blanket of snow to get everyone in the mood. I spent the day hiking the line and visiting the various venues. Here's a small album of images from the day for those who would like to see what it looked like. I'm glad I hung around at the end of the day and watched the crews put the equipment away. Some of the post-sunset, low-light shots were among the best images of the event. It is always a treat when the lanterns and switch lamps come out:

For those who didn't make it up there last weekend and live close enough for a visit, they're going to do it all again this coming Saturday, December 23rd!

Wishing all of the NGDF patrons a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for an awesome 2018!
