John,

Good catch with the cans. Empty cans were only loaded into the dairy car at the creamery in Wiscasset. The shoot is supposed to show full cans being loaded on the morning down train at a rural flag stop. This is the first dairy car scene for some of our volunteers so they didn't know to hold the cans like they are heavy. We can fine tune this scene at next months Grand Reunion. I hope to replicate the Bridgton boxcar/flatbed truck scene as well.
