- Here now is a compilation of one of the most quaint and unique locomotives in New England: Maine 2-footers. All Baldwin built, these (primarily) Forney locomotives give one countless wonder and amazement as to these small but powerful locomotives for local freight and lovely passenger commuter services. Featured within this compilation is the Wiscasset, Waterville and Farmington Railway and the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum. Hope you enjoy!
Maine does have some amazing classic railroads. Yet somehow I feel they get overlooked quite a bit
I think they're more of a "niche" interest railway to some. Personally, I prefer the quaint and more early engines/railways compared to the more industrial and modern ones
I was just thinking of these railroads lol and low and behold there’s a brand new video on it. Has RUclips added mind reading to the RUclips studio. Lol.
Great minds think alike haha
@@WaltsNephew indeed.
Franklin and Megantic first-class coach #2 (most visible at the end of the video) looks sort of like the coaches of the Retlaw 1 passenger train at Disneyland.
True! Or even a Kimball coach from the days of yore
@@WaltsNephew I meant in terms of looks, F&M #2 looks just like the coaches of the Retlaw 1 passenger train that used to run at Disneyland.
Only B&SR #7 and #8 were built by Baldwin, WW&F #9 was built by the Portland Company and Monson #3 and #4 were built by Vulcan
I do apologize for that haha I knew Portland had a hand in at least one of the engines and I completely forgot Vulcan was involved
My first steam train ride was powered by the Monson #3 steam locomotive at Freedomland U.S.A.'s Santa Fe Railway back in 1960. I was 7 years old and so impressed that I hoped to someday become a steam locomotive engineer!!! I became a steam locomotive engineer on the Walt Disney World Railroad from 1988-1998.

How wonderful!! I had a professor who operated the Disneyland Railroad engines for a summer and then worked on the Niágaras in Mexico and even rode on the WDWRR engines before they came to Florida
@@WaltsNephew That's awesome!!! I loved piloting WDWRR's #4 (Roy O. Disney) steam locomotive and I've always wondered what happened to the other 4-4-0 that would have become the #5?
If I'm not mistaken, I believe the fifth engine was utilized for parts
@@WaltsNephew I had herd that the frame was cracked and couldn't be repaired and that the remaing parts were sent to California. #4's frame was cracked but not as bad and was able to be repaired. The Roundhouse has 4 tracks for 4 train sets and an additional storage track.
Riiiiight, that's why Roy was like a Christmas present and came into operation in December rather than October. But that 5th engine, I didn't know the parts were sent over here to sunny CA. Makes you wonder...
