Fund Drive Heads Into Orbit by Larson M. Powell, President
Wow!! When our members decide to support the
Museum, they don’t fool around with half-measures!!
An example is this year’s annual fund drive, which is
now guaranteed to shatter all records, As of December 10",
roughly nine weeks after we mailed our letter to you all
asking for your help in reaching a goal of $17,500.00, we
had received a total of $19,305.00 from 169 members and
friends and contributions are still coming in at a strong rate.
Thank you one and all for your support and your enthusiasm,
which helps to keep all of us on the Board of Directors fired
up and ready to plan an even greater year in 2000! The success of this year’s annual appeal will enable us
to completely pay off the remaining balance of our purchase
price for locomotive No. 10, as well as to make some needed.
repairs to that engine. As well, we will be able to move
ahead aggressively with our track-laying program, which
we expect to set a new record next year when the spring
weather returns.
The number of visitors to the Museum continues to
show a slow but steady increase and all of them are both
amazed and fascinated by what our volunteers have
accomplished. A significant percentage of these visitors
take out memberships in the Museum, as well as purchasing
items from the growing selection of merchandise in our little
gift shop in the freight shed, and all of this activity helps
our revenue stream as well.
Three major projects have taken up much of the time of
our volunteer crews in recent weeks: (1) Preparing engine
#10 for its first Maine boiler inspection, so that we can begin
to operate it shortly; (2) Moving a large quantity of used
standard-gauge ties from the trestle of the Maine Coast
Railroad in Wiscasset harbor to Sheepscot and then cutting

them in half for use on our two-foot gauge operation; and
(3) Starting work on the foundation of our new machine
shop adjacent to Bay #3 of the enginehouse.
On Thursday, November 4", engine #10 received its
boiler inspection, after several days of hard work preparing
it by Jason Lamontagne, Rick Knight, Tom Dickey and
others. As I write this, we are awaiting receipt of the
necessary certificate from the state board that oversees the
inspection and operation of steam boilers and are hopeful
this will arrive in late December. The preparation involved
a hydro test and other work to insure there were no leaks in
the boiler. Since then, work on repairing several bearing
boxes in the running gear has also been carried out.
A new boiler jacket will eventually be necessary, which
will mean removing and replacing the asbestos insulation
currently wrapped around the boiler, but this will not be
undertaken until next spring or summer.
The tie acquisition program has made enormous progress
in the past several weeks. A crew of our volunteers including
Fred Morse, Steve Zuppa, Dana Deering, James Patten, Vern
Shaw, Ken Maguire, Phil Nine, Marcel Levesque, Charley
Young, Rick Sisson, John Robertson, John McNamara, Stewart
Rhine, John Bradbury and Zack Wyllie, among others, has
been hauling used, 10-foot standard-gauge ties from Wiscasset,
where they are being replaced on the trestle that runs across
part of Wiscasset harbor, to Sheepscot. A huge “thank you” to
all these volunteers.
These standard gauge ties are extremely heavy,
incidentally, weighing about 200 pounds each, and have to
be hand-loaded in a pickup truck and then unloaded at the
Museum-—~good exercise to say the least.
Spikes and other hardware are then removed from each
tie and it is cut in half before being hauled to the end of our
main line and put down on our roadbed, that was cleared and
graded last winter and spring. To date, approximately 525 ties
have been cut and laid out on the roadbed, each one two feet
apart for a total of 1,050 feet of track once rail is laid on them.
We have gotten an extremely good price on these used ties,
some of which are oak.
We also have obtained from the same contractor who
is doing the Wiscasset work a number of large stringers
(i.e. timbers) that will be used to rebuild the trestle over
Humason Brook, when this point is reached in late 2000
or early 2001. That trestle will be the last major obstacle
to completing our main line all the way into Aina Center,
where we will rebuild the little station that originally
stood there. We have, incidentally, already received
preliminary offers from two different outfits that are
willing to help rebuild the trestle at little or no cost to us
beyond the timbers themselves.
Finally, ground was cleared and the many loads of
gravel needed for the foundation “pad” have been hauled
in for our new machine shop, that will be built as an
addition to the enginehouse next to Bay #3. This shop
will have a “pit” built into the floor for servicing of
equipment but further work will now have to await the
arrival of spring. Use of the machine shop will also
require installation of another switch in our yard at
Sheepscot and the building of a new lead line into that
part of the enginehouse.
Our Halloween celebration on October 30" for local
children and their parents was a great success, with about 150

riding the trains and enjoying the free cider, apples and candy
we supplied. James Patten spearheaded the organizing for
this event, which included lighted “Jack ‘O Lanterns” spread
out up our main line and a few spooky characters jumping
out from the underbrush along the way. Thank you
James! Special holiday trains were run on December
11" as well. Having coach 3 available to give our visitors
an enclosed passenger car ride helps us plan these cool
weather events.
We will be having our usual booth at the huge annual
train show held by the Amherst Railway Society at the
Eastern States Exposition building in West Springfield,
Massachusetts, on February 5" and 6". I’m sure those of
you who plan to attend will want to stop by the booth to
say hello to Ellis Walker and his helpers. Last year over
20,000 people attended the show, which is the largest of its
kind in the country.
Incidentally, Bob Jones’ latest book-—-covering the history
of the two-foot gauge Kennebec Central Railroad in Maine—
has just been published and is now available in our gift shop.
This completes his coverage of all five of the Maine two-footers
and we are hoping that when he finishes his current book
project on a portion of the D.& R.G.W. we can convince him
to redo his book on the W.W. & EF, “Two Feet to Tidewater.”
Originally published in 1987 and long out-of-print, that book
now sells in used bookstores for $175.00 per copy and
up....when you can find it!!
And so we wrap up another year at Sheepscot Station.
Thanks to all of you for the support and encouragement
you have given to those of us on the board and also special
thanks tc everyone who has come to the Museum to drive
a spike or tote rail or shovel ballast or just to say hello.
Have a wonderful holiday season and a healthy and happy
New Year, and we will ali be looking forward to the
excitement of seeing our own steam locomotive on the
tracks again in a few short weeks.
Local “Chapters” of W.W.& F.
to be Discontinued At arecent meeting of the Board of Directors of the
W.W.& F., it was decided to discontinue the practice of
allowing state or local “chapters” of the Museum.
Although we very much welcome the help these chapters
have given us, the Board made its decision based on
several factors:
(1). We have been advised that Federal and state tax
returns may have to be filed in any state where the
Museum permits a chapter to operate that uses its name.
This is not something we want to risk because of the
time and cost involved.
(2). We do not wish to have the Museum’s name used
on any newsletters, brochures or other literature that we
do not produce ourselves nor do we want to have our
membership list used for mailings that are not sent out
by the Board. This prohibition, of course, also applies
to any use of the Museum’s name on an internet website
or to any merchandise offered for sale.
(3). The possibility that any number of individual
groups could organize as local “chapters” using our name
all around the country, without any control as to what
was said or written on our behalf, is not feasible or
acceptable and thus, in fairness, it was decided to end all
chapters now.
These changes will bring our practices in line with
those followed by all other museums in the country and
should avoid any unauthorized uses of the W.W. & F.
Museum’s name in the future. We very much appreciate
our membership’s understanding and support in this
matter.

W.W. & EF. Musing No. 52 by Ellis Walker
No matter how I look at it the best I can say about
W.W.& F. passenger/RPO combine No. 7- later No. 2- is
that it was homely.
As most of you know, it was rebuilt from an open
streetcar-type of car. To begin with, the roofline was unique.
The monitor roof had gone out of style on steam railroads
soon after the Civil War. The bonnet, as the cover over the
end platforms was called in street railway lingo, was
rounded on the ends.
This looked all right on a streetcar with rounded
platforms, but when the car was rebuilt, the platforms were
replaced by conventional squared-off, steam-railroad type.
Not only that, but the end posts which supported the bonnets
were removed and the bonnets were held up on each end
by a couple of metal straps attached to the monitor roof.
Aesthetically it left much to be desired.
As it was originally built, the roof was wider than the
floor. As can be seen from the photo of the open car on
page 3, the bottoms of the posts and the seat ends curve in.
Most all open streetcars were built this way so that the roof
overhung the side steps.
When the car was rebuilt the floor was widened out to
the width of the roof and the sides were made flat. This
created the excessive overhang and gave the car an ungainly
look. Then there were the diagonal braces on the end
walls which cut right across the end windows. All in all
I would nominate No. 2 as the ugliest looking car on the
railroad. What do you think?
Another item to consider is why the open car was
converted in the first place. The management may have
been soured on open cars because of the bad accident
when a man was killed while trying to change seats by
walking along the runningboard. He was hit by a bridge
truss and knocked to the ground.
Also the economics of a car which at best could only
be used three months of the year were not very good. I
think, however, that the main reason for the conversion
was that the W.W.& F. had a shortage of passenger
equipment.
When the smoker/baggage combine burned in 1904,
it left them with 3 coaches, a smoker/RPO/baggage
combine, and a baggage/RPO/express combine. The loss
of the combine happened right at the time of peak
passenger traffic.
There were two round trips between Winslow and
Wiscasset plus two round rips between Weeks Mills and
Albion and local service between Winslow and Weeks Mills.
The service required two and possibly 3 sets of equipment.
Another combination car would have been a welcome
addition to the fleet.
Why was the combination made passenger/RPO when
they already had two cars with RPO compartments? I
suspect that about this time, the Post Office Department started
complaining about the limited space in the existing RPO
compartments. Both cars had passageways along the side
of the RPO spaces to allow access to both ends of the car
without going through the mail compartment. As a result,
the poor clerk worked in a space barely 4 feet wide and
about 8 feet long. The new combine had a mail space 6
feet wide by 15 feet long which made it almost as large as
a small standard gauge mail compartment.
A few years later when trolley competition caused
passenger business to nosedive there was plenty of capacity
for the remaining passenger trains except when Captain
MacMillen sailed out of Wiscasset on his trips to the Arctic.
Then just about everything with wheels under it was pressed
into service on the excursion trains.
It’s getting to be Amherst Railroad Society Show time
again. The show will be held at the Eastern States
Exposition Grounds in West Springfield on February 5
and 6, 2000. I will be manning the W.W.& F. Museum table and as in previous years would appreciate any help
from those of you who may be planning to attend.

Looking Back at the W.W.& F. by Henry Percival
100 Years Ago
By the end of 1899, the Wiscasset & Quebec Railroad
Company, predecessor of the W.W.& F. RR, was totally
buried in debt, litigation and in short, bankrupt, but as is
typical of utilities, still running. Many of the contractors
had foreclosed on their mechanic’s liens, and sold their
claims for a pittance to private parties, who allowed the
W&Q to continue the use of the property. Former and
current officers had sued for back pay and return of funds
advanced for construction.
The mid-day train had been discontinued October 1,
1899, much to the dismay of the railroad’s customers, who
lost their mid-day mail service as a consequence. This left
one six days a week round trip: from Albion to Wiscasset
in the morning and return in the afternoon.
The Waterville Trust Company foreclosed the
bondholders’ mortgage on July 19, 1899, and unless a buyer
appeared who would pay enough to pay off the bondholders,
liens, and some left over for the shareholders, the
shareholders would find their $100.00 shares worthless.
Leonard Atwood had been working for some time
to build from Waterville to Farmington and the Waterville
& Wiscasset Railroad Company had been chartered to
connect Waterville to the W&Q RR. This combination
would have formed a continuous two foot railroad system
from the reaches of the Sandy River, Phillips & Rangeley
and associated railroads to the seaport of Wiscasset. For all
the wishful planning, everything was still in limbo at the
end of 1899, and the W&Q RR was floundering along as
best it could.
75 Years Ago
By the end of 1924 the Wiscasset, Waterville &
Farmington Railway was running a mid-day train three
days a week, as well as the regular six days a week
“morning down/afternoon up” train between Albion and
Wiscasset. Income was slipping, but 1924 still showed
the railroad with a slim margin of profit.
During the preceding 25 years the railroad had been
the Wiscasset & Quebec Railroad Company, the Wiscasset
& Quebec Railroad, and the Wiscasset, Waterville and
Farmington Railroad before arriving at its identity as the
Wiscasset, Waterville and Farmington Railway.
Wé&Q RR Company shareholders had lost their total
investment. W&Q RR Company bondholders eventually
received a return of 6 cents on the $1.00 of their investment,
with no interest payments.
The railroad had almost reached Waterville, but had
not managed to cross the Kennebec River from Winslow,
to which it had built from Weeks Mills, 28 miles wp the
line from Wiscasset. The Winslow line was only in service
about 10 years. Still, the Sheepscot Valley still had railroad
service.
Sheepscot Section Crew Report by James Patten
Volunteers have been very busy the past two months
cutting up ties from the Wiscasset trestle, which is being rebuilt
by the State of Maine contractor, Chesterfield Associates.
Chesterfield is selling us all the ties we want (minus what the
State is entitled to) from the trestle, as well as some bridge
timbers for Humason Brook trestle.
These ties have been showing up on our door step on a
weekly basis, so every week volunteers grab a chain saw and
a spike puller to deal with the ties. Most Saturdays the duty of
cutting up and de-spiking the ties takes a whole day, so for
awhile the track crew hasn’t been doing much track. Zack
Wyllie, Fred Morse, Marcel Levesque, and many others have
worked on this hard, dirty job week after week.
We’ ve also received some bridge timbers from the trestle,
and these have been stacked at the Davis Supply Depot further
up the line. These timbers are massive: 16 by 12 inches and
over 20 feet long. There are some smaller timbers to that we
hope we can use as bents (the vertical support of the trestle)
and caps (the platform created by a horizontal piece over the
bents). Many of these timbers are bolted together, so some
lucky souls will be busy over the next year removing the bolts.
While cutting these ties up was necessary, because of it
we haven't been able to do some important preparation work
for next year. While we would like to set a firm date for next
year’s big track laying day, at this time it isn’t possible. It is
likely it will be in May. Future articles will set a date.
Less than Carload Ramblings by Jason Lamontagne
Hello again everyone. It is time again to say a few words
to thank all those who help make the Wiscasset, Waterville
and Farmington Railway what it is. First some thoughts for
the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad.
I was recently watching some excellent video footage of
our 1999 Annual Picnic shot for us by director and volunteer
Roger Whitney. Watching video clips of a very attractive
consist (in my opinion, anyway), including Monson Engine
3, flat 118, coach 3 and caboose 320, through numerous run-
bys at Davis Crossing, I realized that this classic Maine 2-foot
train would only be half as complete without the generosity of
the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad.
To entrust us for two consecutive years with a historic and
irreplaceable steam locomotive, at no cost, shows great faith
and we truly do appreciate their efforts for us. Adding to that,
allowing the last remaining piece of passenger equipment (a
magnificent one at that) from the W.W.& F. to return home
after so many years allows us to get even closer to our ultimate
goals,
We all realized on Sunday, August 16, that it was probably
the last time Monson #3 could be seen fired up on the
W.W.& F. for quite some time, if ever again. All involved will
tell you that the two years that we were graced by that engine’s
presence was a wonderful time and we can’t forget it. Thank
you Maine Narrow Gauge and we look forward to continuing
our good relationship into the future.
Thanks to Dave Campbell, Dot Googins and all of the Maine
Narrow Gauge directors for supporting us and pushing to make
good things happen. And thank you to Erv Bickford, and his
driver, Harold Jewell, for providing expert, reliable and free
transportation for moving all of our trains around the country side.
Once again we owe our operation in part to Steve Knoblock
and Bob Longo, for coming through with another too-many hours
long trip from New York State with a load of coal to satisfy Engine
3’s appetite. They both apparently enjoyed their weekend greatly,
and are looking forward to returning soon, with coal for Number
10. I’ve heard that Steve recently got out of heart surgery. We
certainly wish a quick recovery for him and look forward to seeing
both him and Bob again soon.
Even with Bob and Steve’s contribution, Engine 3 was a bit
greedier than expected. That can’t really be blamed on the engine,
considering we ran 4 hours into the first Friday evening for night
trains. When we got in a pinch for coal, I gave acall down theroad
to Bob Ryan at Boothbay Railway. He was more than happy to
allow us to go down to Boothbay and retrieve enough coal to get
us through the remainder of the picnic. Itis nice to know we have
so many good neighbors.
As you have now read, the W.W.& F is receiving a substantial
amount of ties and rail from the trestle renewal project in Wiscasset
on the Maine Coast Railroad. Part of the deal for receiving the rail
free of charge was that our ctew was responsible for removing it,
in service as guard rail, from the trestle, and in a single weekend.
Not looking forward to the 2 mile walk from the nearest road
to the trestle, and then having to haul that rail back over the same
distance, we asked for some transportation assistance. This
assistance came in a variety of ways.
First, thanks to Steve Healy for providing his motor car for
crew transport. Also, thanks to Dan Moscato at the Maine Coast
Railroad for providing and running their Locomotive 958, to haul
some of the long strings of rail in from the trestle, and also allowing
us the use of Maine Coast’s high-rail boom truck. These are
examples of details that allow us to get things done when they
need to be done.
Appreciation must go out to Rick Knight and Mike Invernezzi
for donating several bundles of railroad ties to us. These ties were
formerly highway guardrail posts in Massachusetts, but were made
from the same stock as railroad ties. They are in excellent shape
and we appreciate them. Thanks also to Tom Dickey for hauling
most of those ties up to us on his numerous trips to Maine.
On to more recent news now, namely Engine 10. I’ve been
working steadily on obtaining a State of Maine Boiler Certificate
for #10’s boiler, as well as working on some mechanical details in
the running gear which need addressing. The engine is old and
well used, but she is a true survivor thanks to the efforts of the
Edaville Railroad of old.
The boiler inspection was held on November 4. I found this
out less than a week in advance, and consequently had to gather
several needed components to be able to perform the hydrostatic
test. Again, MNGRR, Rick Knight and Tom Dickey came through
for us. MNG allowed us the use of their hydrostatic test pump,
(alleged to be the original B&SR pump), and Rick allowed us the
use of his official test gauge. Tom took a day from work and
brought these parts from Massachusetts to me.
We worked late into the evening before getting everything
ready, before Tom rushed back home that night to be at work the
nextmoring. Incase you are wondering, the hydro-test and intemal
inspection of Number 10’s boiler went well, and we are currently
awaiting word from the state, presumably with a bill for a boiler
certificate.
For Number 10’s mechanical work, I needed a milling
machine. Lacking time to set our own mill up, and lacking tools to
perform the job completely, I asked the University of Maine
machine shop instructor, Tim Marquis, for the use of his shop. He
very generously agreed, and I was able to do most of the job right here in Orono.
With that, I was faced with a week long Thanksgiving Break,
and the school’s shop being closed. So, I strolled down to Boothbay Railway, where they kindly allowed me the use of their new (to them) mill. Brian Fanslau was up from New Jersey, and both he and Chuck Vaughn from B. Ry. provided quite a lot of assistance in the project. Brian related some experience he had when dealing with similar mechanical problems in B. Ry’s Henschel Number 13, which I couldn’t have done without.
Thank you all for your attention and I hope to write again soon. Oh, and don’task where I got that title. Ireally have no idea.
