Wiscasset, Waterville, & Farmington: Annual Picnic, 8-11-19

Nestled in the woods of Maine, steam hisses through the cylinders of locomotives, powering trains of the 2 foot gauge Wiscasset, Waterville, & Farmington Railway. Operated from 1894 to 1933, scraped in 1937, and now ongoing a rebuilt under the administration of the WW&F Railway Museum since 1989, with 2.6 miles restored with facilities, an operational locomotive original to the museum's predecessor, and rolling stock. The line is full of history, and under the watchful eye of volunteers, provides one of the best looks into the Maine 2-Footers that can currently be offered.

Each year as a celebration of the continued success of the museum, a picnic is held, live music prototypical to the railway's time period, 2 trains available, one powered by WWFRy #9 pulling standard coaches, the second pulled by Monson #3, pulling a train incredibly reminiscent of some of the first trains pulled by the museum. A barbecue was also held at Sheepscot Station along with the display of the only parlor car ever made for the Maine 2 foot gauge railways: Sandy River and Rangeley Lakes Railroad "Rangeley".
