It is hard to imagine the Maine NG in winter unless you can be there. The size of the trains and the harshness of the weather has to be experienced. I came in every evening with a true appreciation of the work that the railroaders did in this weather, and an even greater admiration for all the people at the Maine N.G. Museum and the WW&F RR who came out in this weather to put on this show for us. This is simply a shot (and its not B&W) to show what Friday and a Maine winter looks like.
