MAINE TWO-FOOT GAUGE RAILROADS

The many two-foot gauge lines need little comment.

Sandy River & Rangely Lakes 2-6-2 Number 24 at Carrabasset, May 22, 1935.

BALDWIN BUILDER'S PHOTOS

Outside frame 0-4-4T Built 1893

Inside frame 2-4-4T built 1907

Inside frame 2-4-4T built 1907 duplicating Sandy River 16.

Number 7 is very similar to Sandy River 16 but has outside frames.

2-4-4T built in 1909 has air brakes rather than vacuum brakes.

2-4-4T built in 1913 uses Walschearts valve gear.

Number 7 was preserved and operated on the Edaville longer than it did on the B&SR.

Built in 1916 with air brakes but is like B&S 7.

Outside frame 2-6-0 "George M. Goodwin" built in 1891

Built in 1892 for a lumber railroad in northwest North Carolina which was not opened.

Purchased by the Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington but not delivered due to failure to pay.

Became Sandy River 3 and Sandy River & Rangely Lakes 16.

2-6-2 built in 1913

2-6-2 built in 1916 is slightly different.

A FEW OTHER TWO-FOOT GAUGE PHOTOS

Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington Number 2, probably around the time the line closed in 1933.

Built by Portland in 1894 and scrapped in 1937. Photo by H. W. Pontin.

Rangely overgrown with weeds after the line was closed.

DEMONSTRATORS ON THE B&M

General Motors 1800 HP Diesel-Electric Demonstrators 511 and 512 at North Berwick, Maine.

Not a short line scene but interesting. The seven car train is Number 107 to Portland from Boston.

Built in 1935 and scrapped in 1938, the two units were probably photographed in March 1936.
