small but neat narrow gauge museum railroad with a dedicated and active group of volunteers including some of my wife's relatives. On this visit I got to ride the Model T railcar built from Ford model T parts to resemble a railcar once used by the SR&RL RR. The railcar can hold 5 passengers and the driver. Trust me it has no springs that amount to anything - I felt every joint in the rail. When we got to the far end of the railroad I helped the driver crank up the railcar mounted turntable and turn the railcar for the trip back.
Following our visit to the WW&F we went down to the town of Wiscasset for lunch then walked down to the seaside where the WW&F folks donated a dairy car for display on the dock area.
Off the side of the dock you can still see some of the pilings that used to carry the WW&F tracks over the water alongside the shoreline.
