After a 2 day visit with a good friend of mine in New Hampshire, I set out again on my railfannin' adventure.
Next stop, North Conway, NH - at the Conway Scenic Railway.

Without a doubt, the best ride I had was the Mt. Washington Cog Railway in
Mt. Washington, New Hampshire.
Unfortunately I didn't have a camera with me the day I rode it so I had to go back after I got one and take some pictures, but at $59.00 a ride I couldn't see riding it again, so the photos are from the base station.

My next museum stop was at the
Wiscasset, Waterville, & Farmington 2 ft. Narrow Gauge Railway Museum
in Alna, Maine.
Sadly they were closed that day but I still got a few pictures.
| Quote from their site
The Wiscasset, Waterville, and Farmington Railway was a two-foot gauge common carrier railroad that operated from 1894 until 1933. The line ran from Wiscasset in the south, to Albion and Winslow in the north, never making it to either Waterville or Farmington. The Museum is located at the site of the old Sheepscot station in Alna, with mainline track running north from Cross Road, on the original roadbed. |

While riding through Conneticut, on my way to Scranton, PA, I saw a sign on the side of the Interstate for the Danbury Railroad Museum.
I couldn't pass that by, and I'm sure glad I didn't. There's a lot of neat stuff there.

Last, but not least, I stopped by the Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
I got there a little late in the day and wish I had more time to stroll around but it was not to be on that day.

On a slightly different note, I took some pictures of a bridge I found rather interesting in Brunswick, Maine.
