Description
From Wikipedia-�The Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes Railroad (SR&RL) was a narrow gauge common carrier railroad that operated approximately 112 miles (180 km) of 2 ft (610 mm) gauge railroad in Franklin County, Maine.
As part of the New England transportation monopoly organized by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, the SR&RL operated as a subsidiary of the Maine Central Railroad from 1912 until receivership in 1923.[4] Maine Central built 37 box cars, 37 flat cars, 3 cabooses and a baggage-RPO car in their Portland Terminal Company shops for the SR&RL between 1912 and 1917.[5] SR&RL locomotives 15, 16, 17 and 18 were reboilered in the Maine Central Waterville shops during the same period, and a 4-mile (6.4 km) freight branch was built from Perham Junction to Barnjum.�
No 4 is a replica locomotive manufactured by Wesley Spear to help resurrect a portion of the SR&RL railroad now located near Phillips, Maine. Searching google there is significant effort to restore for history and posterity portions of this once vital transportation hub of Central and Northwestern Maine. No 4 is powered by a Mustang engine and pulls a passenger car and caboose on a several mile stretch of track with stops at the SR&RL round house and Phillips, Maine. Those interested in a nostalgic tour with great commentary from a well versed former school teacher, now serving as the Conductor and tour guide, should contact the railroad office in Phillips at 207/778-3621, or secretary@srrl rr.org You should find this most fascinating if you too enjoy time capsules of the past. Days and hours of operation are limited as the staff is all volunteer.
