WISCASSET, WATERVILLE & FARMINGTON RAILWAY

A real living/working history event. Very nice and informative/ engaged staff. This is a constantly growing and working narrow gauge steam railroad. This is a rustic working exhibits where they are rebuilding vintage equipment on site so expect dirt and grime and running equipment. This is a great unique experience. They have teamed up with a local farm that abuts the tracks and have lavender picking, horse drawn carriage rides, and pumpkin picking activities .

Read about this in the newspaper and went prepared for the cold and snowy, muddy conditions with boots. The ticketing was easy. The staff answered our questions and were very friendly. Learning about the trains and the ride, seeing the beautiful Percheron horses, the tasty and reasonable food all served with smiles, the bon fire, the sleigh ride, were all so enjoyable. All of the volunteers and staff have done such a good job in preserving history and the interest in trains.

My husband and I heard about this place on the news while packing to leave our B&B continuing our coastal road trip south. We stopped in on a whim, on a Monday, and Steve - a 12-year veteran volunteer — offered us an interesting tour of the place and shared his passion for the narrow gauge train station. Well worth the stop. We only regret not happening by on a Saturday that the trains were running.

Great steam train ride up the mountain and then your choice of horse drawn sleighs or a tractor pull sleigh up to a beautiful farm. Bonfire, roasting marshmellows, treats, sledding, snowshoeing x country skiing if you wanted to. Then back to the sleighs and a ride back down. Everyone was friendly and passionate about sharing history. Nice little museum.

Totally non touristy. They are almost embarrassed to take your money. Authentic 1890 vintage steam locomotive , that you can get right up and check out. Totally volunteer run and they love it. The trip is up through the woods. I was happy that no "Indians" attacked the train, just some coal smoke and good history lesson.

While in Maine I decided to pay a visit to the WW&F Railway. It is an authentic rebuilt 1900 era 2 foot gauge railroad. The number 9 steam engine was running with a coach and an open car. the equipment, sounds and smoke from the engine really take you back to a different era. the folks at the museum are very nice and the crew was great, especially conductor Ed!

We went as a family tonight to a new concert series they have started. It was fantastic. There was a simplicity that seemed familiar. The band played under a tent from the back of an old Ford pickup and you take a steam train out about 3 miles to watch the concert. It really was great. Our 4 & 7 year olds loved it. We're definitely going again and would highly recommend this to locals and visitors alike.

If you are a train buff, this museum is for you. Run by volunteers, they have done an amazing job of restoring the railway's historical importance in this area. This group of volunteers is even slowly rebuilding the rails and give train rides every summer weekend and the steam engine ride is very special.

As a railfan I was naturally drawn to this working museum for the two-foot gauge Maine railroads. But my wife, not a big railfan, had a great time too. The train crew were very friendly and well informed. And the equipment and ride were lots of fun to experience.

Around the turn of the 20th Century there were a group of 2 foot gauge railroads unique to Maine. The WW&F is the place to go to understand and enjoy the sights and sounds of this history. They are always growing and improving and expanding the experience. Warm and friendly while highly professional.

A rather informal museum, highlighting the history of the famous Maine two-foot gauge railroads. Features an hour long train ride on a 125 year old steam locomotive. Dedicated group of volunteers provides historical information and fun experience. For those interested, you can roam the maintenance shops and take pictures on your own, Worthy of your support.

For a group of volunteers to piece this together is fantastic. I visited the place when it was just a vision. Seeing it now is nothing short of amazing. We were there for the Easter train. It was a little busy, but it was well worth the wait!. Great job, we'll be back. keep up the great work.

This group of dedicated volunteers and employees have been slowly rebuilding a narrow gauge railroad, a little bit each year. They have a train ride as far as they've laid tracks. The best thing is the passion with which these men speak of their achievement and explain the world of railroads.

Get a punch ticket, hop aboard as the whistle blows, chat with the conductor, and feel like you've stepped back in time. The Railway is a great place to learn a bit about railroad history and also the very unique tracks that have been restored in Alna. And it's better than a museum because you get to ride a restored train! Perhaps even a Model T engine, if you're lucky. The volunteers were all friendly and knowledgeable, and there's a great new bathroom facility next to the picnic area. This spot is worth a stop!
