From the discussion about the two steamers in the woods in northern Maine, I thought this would be an interesting side discussion. Many of the great places to photograph trains in New England are in rural areas, and often times involve hikes away from main roads. I've heard from various posts over the years that people have occasionally seen moose and deer while photographing in places like Crawford Notch, or along the SL&A. This is probably a hazard that not to many rail fans factor in, but it seems like encounters with wildlife are something that anyone let alone rail-fan should be prepared for.
I'm curious if anyone on these forms has any stories to share, whether it was spotting a bear from inside a Conway Scenic train or waiting trackside for a train and seeing a moose walking down the tracks. I've been photographing northern New England for awhile now, and have not seen anything.
