Sunday, Feb 9, 2020 dawned clear and COLD. By 800am, it had started to warm up.... a bit
The first order of business was to give #9 a spin on the turntable.
Today we would have a doubleheaded 13 car train. #7 would lead #9. Apparently the WW&F had a policy that when doubleheading, the engine with the pilot truck would lead. Makes sense. Everything is facing south into the sun as the train backs out of Sheepscot
We proceeded to the big meadow north of Alna Center, where #7 & #9 stomped back and forth with the train.
