Crawfords station...
Last summer during the hottest days, we went hiking in the White Mountains. Our hike started out at the AMC lodge next to the Crawfords Station on the old Portland and Ogdensburg Railway. This charming little station is at the high point at the top of Crawford Notch. This may be the highest point of rail in New England...I do not know for sure, but it is up there. I think the fall rail trip will stop at this station.
Wardwell Neighbors from Saco visits MGRS
Click to view larger image Three car loads of very pleasant ladies bearing gifts of sandwiches and homemade cookies and watermelon arrived at Carl's today greeted by an equally grateful band of MGRS members ready to run trains and enjoy the beautiful day. It was perfect too, could not have been better. A great heron even dropped by. Pat's flowers looked fantastic. I also met one of our newer younger members from Buxton. I think his name is Ben. (I apologize for not being better at remembering names). But he is a very nice young man that took right to Walter's and Scott's instruction and did a great job at handling the controls. Everyone had a good time and really did enjoy the day, thanks to all involved. If you would like to see a few more pictures from today, please click here:
