That is a reflection of a blue tarp. #7 is that shiny.

Big news! Bridgton & Saco River #7 has returned to Portland and ran last weekend during their Annual Meeting. It has been 15 years since #7 was in steam. She looks awesome. A lot of effort over the past 10 years by a number of dedicated volunteers got #7 completed. To celebrate the return of #7,...

Myself and a bunch of fellow railfans followed the 7470 as it made its way to Hazens making the day almost perfect. We had made it to Fayban's about a 1/2 hour ahead of the train. As other's have noted in previous posts, the accident happened long before the train showed up in that general location ...

I saw this same shelter at Raymond about 10 years ago. Looked great back then as well. As I recall, the station sign on it was for Candia.

During one railfan weekend Bill was doing his Wolfman thing. Yelling and carrying on as the train was going by. During this, we were on a dirt mound taking our pictures like any good railfan. As soon as the train disappeared, Bill "Wolfman" turned to us and in a very civilized tone and sai...

(We paid our $25 fee to be an "Offical Chase Vehicle"). It was my understanding that if you wanted to take pics at the night shoot you had to "pay" for tickets to do so. I have taken lots of photos around N Conway yard and the whole line in the past several years. I was excited ...

I recall that Robert Morrell from Story Land was in the bidding. He had just taken delivery of the Flying Yankee around that time, so if you put two and two together :wink: I think that one reaason he did not get the nod was a lack of facilities to operate out of. Does anyone know anything different?

Here are some videos from this past Saturday's special steam excursion. I want to give a big hats off to Paul Hallett and the rest of the Conway Scenic crew. This had to be one of the best railfan trips I have chased in a long time. Also kudos to the Mass. Bay RRE for sponsoring the trip (We paid ou...

The land where they were going to originally locate the depot to is no longer available. The bank that owns the site originally was going to give the spot to the Danvers Depot group, but once they heard that the land it was to sit on was enviromentally unsound (see Steam's response about the land ab...

Building a live steamer can be a daunting task, but building 5 of them can be a real challenge. Four of us from the Northeast Live Steamers are doing just that. It is my first time machining anything and since we started in January of this year, I have learned a tremendous amount. The member of the ...
