I agree that it would have been better if the NG equipment had stayed at Edaville where it really belonged. Unfortunately
this is not the case. The management at Portland needs to realize that they are more or less in a public relations business
as well as a railroad museum plus a NG train operation. The person who made things unpleasant that afternoon should be
banished whether she be an employee or a volunteer. One person like this can do more damage than 10 good people can do
good.
Based on what I have read here, the NG in Portland will not be very high on my priority list should I get to Maine by car maybe next summer.
Finally, this is a very good place to air this stuff, why shouldn't prospective visitors, supporters etc know about misconduct
and problems at these places. There are enough places all over the US where visitors will receive a very warm welcome.
I received one at Strasburg a couple of years ago and at Cass last summer. I know for a fact that visitors will also receive a
very warm welcome at Thomaston, Connecticut on an operating day as well.
Ellis Atwood would turn over in his grave if he saw what happened to his beloved Edaville.
