Saturday, November 21st - Three pieces of Maine Two-Foot equipment were reunited for the first time in 114 years. Phillips & Rangeley coach 2 and recently restored combine 4, both built in 1891 ran on the WW&F Railway for a one day only event. Motive power was WW&F engine 9 (also built in 1891), backdated to it's 1908 livery as Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes 6. The special train made two trips between Sheepscot and Top of the Mountain. Here, the extra is seen working south towards Alna Center at 11:30 am. Photo by S. Rhine.
