I go there yearly, and it's the only standard gauge steam in New England right now. Looking forward to your pics and thoughts.
Thanks. That's great that you can visit yearly, Gary. I was thinking there are opportunities for steam excursions in Maine, but then I saw that you wrote "standard gauge". Oh well. I do hope to get to the narrow gauge railway in Portland, ME next month but there doesn't seem to be any mention of their steam engine anymore on the redesigned website.

Conway scenic in NH has 7470 0-6-0 which is under overhaul, she may be back on the rails end of next year.

If you check my links below you will see efforts to restore Main Central 470 but that's more likely a decade away depending on fund raising. So for now the Valley with their two operational steamers with three total (Valley has #97 getting ready for her overhaul).
