February 8, 2020 dawned much nicer that the day before. It was colder (low teens) but the skies were clearing promising a nicer day. Today we would have not one, not two, but THREE trains on the road representing mixed trains on the Monson RR, Bridgeton & Saco River RR, as well as the home road, the Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington. SR&RL #6 magically transformed back into WW&F #9 and would fave north with her mixed train, while Monson #3 and B&SR #7 would face south with their trains.
Here the trio awaits call to duty.
First order of business is to turn Monson #3 to face south.
#9 got on her mixed train and everyone got on board. We headed north to a large open field north of Alna Center, where #9 paraded back and before our cameras
