I couldn't agree more! 🙂

Was that your uncle's farm in one of the videos that I posted?

@DeafBMRailroadFan not sure? It was between Danville an west Danville, it might have been ?

@@jimgomez5396 did the road towards the farm have sort of a long wide turn to it?

Thank you! ☺

I can certainly imagine how you would react that way! 🙂

Glad you enjoy the music. There's a reason behind it as well.

Is he still with us?

@@DeafBMRailroadFan Yes he is !

@@nhphoto well I hope he sees this video! ☺

Glad you liked the video! Wow, I had no idea that Mr. Woodward worked for NEGS as well!

Of course, it's my pleasure! Happy to read that you like them!

Also note that that’s 1008 right there

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for letting me know the exact street. I will edit that in the description!

@@Matts_Conrail_Chicago_Mainline No, it’s just stored out of service outside the Lakeport engine house.

He sent them all to me! I have thousands of videos from Mr. Purchase's time in New England!

Thanks! Unfortunately, no I don't and I double checked to make sure. Most of what I have are photos! I appreciate the comment.

@ gotchu. At least you got what you got. I think the loco you got there is the 44 Tonner that currently resides on the Conway Scenic Railroad.

@@NorthEasternMotionProductions absolutely! I think you are definitely right about that.

It is very well could be, I honestly have no idea.

I don’t think anything north of Colebrook was in service anymore by 1996.

It must've been sad to see the last train over there. I'm sure it was great while it lasted.

He is a fantastic videographer that is for certain! It's certainly a pleasure and a joy for sure! It makes me happy that others enjoy them as well! They are already on his external hard drive that I still have. I have transferred his files to two of my personal external hard drives. However I am getting a few more before I send his external hard drives back so I can have a few backup just in case one external hard drive fails, I will have a backup for years to come. These photos and videos are just way to historically important from my prospective to not play it safe. The newspaper clippings I found on google while researching some information about the railroad. They most certainly are a great treasure! I haven't even scratched the surface of what he has. It's amazing to look over and watch!

@DeafBMRailroadFan Thanks for your informative response, I enjoyed reading of your work. I'm not tech savvy, so am anxious to learn how others go about such things. Thank you again and keep up the wonderful work you are doing!

@@bailey-critter it's my pleasure! I totally understand that for sure. I do the best I can to be informative, even though I might not know everything. I also try my very best to learn as well. Thanks for supporting the content I post. I highly appreciate it.

I am happy you like them! I enjoy them very much as well, as I have a lot more footage to come from that area as well! So I hope you stay tuned.

Thank you! I'm glad you like it! It's my pleasure! ☺

Of course! You are welcome! ☺

Not a problem at all! It's totally my pleasure! ☺

Yeah! I am surprised by the same thing as well! There's a small railroad on the west coast that uses one for revenue freight still. I forget where though. I was laughing at that as well! 🤣

Happy to bring back such memories. It's really my pleasure!

Thank you! 😊

I'm happy to hear that you like the footage and that it invokes whatever memories you have of the Wolfeboro Railroad. Believe me, I absolutely know the feeling. This wouldn't be possible if Mr. Purchase didn't send me what he had.

@@DeafBMRailroadFan I personally don't have any memories, I wasn't born at the time. My grandfather had rode the B&M from Manchester Union to Lowell frequently, and my mom had rode the Wolfeboro Railroad with my grandparents. My grandfather told me how him and his family had moved to California briefly for his moms work, and they took the B&M and its connectors from Manchester to Lowell, into Boston, and out to Chicago where they took the UP out west.

@@notch8c40 wow. That's quite a family story there. To ride the B&M and then from then take the UP out of Chicago to get to California is certainly a huge endeavor. I am sure, especially for the time period must've seen a lot of action on the way. I can only picture that in my head as a passenger. Thanks for sharing that!

@@DeafBMRailroadFan Not a problem.

😂

Happy that it's out there for the public to view.

yeah, that little locomotive was really moving. Of course if they played it at the speed it probably was going the video would be twice as long or more.

I'm happy to read that this footage has invoked some positive childhood memories. ☺

They did have some good track left but they weren't going that fast. Watch it again at .75 speed and it is a little more on target. That speed-up was done when the film was digitized to avoid shutter flicker.

@@sjwhitney Ah, makes sense.

I've been to Edaville many times and every time we visit, my brother and I walk into the cab of the 250.

I saw that. It's really unfortunate that the locomotive isn't being maintained. Better then scrapped I guess.

She is better off like how she is now than scrapped. One of these day me and a couple of my friends are going to try and ask Edaville for permission to cosmetically restore 250 and make her more presentable to the public. And hopefully fix her recently broken bell cord but only time will tell if my friends and I can do that for now we just sit and wait until the right time.

@@DeafBMRailroadFan You've seen us before?

@@kevincleary4273 no I only read about it.

I wholeheartedly agree. Especially under the "Wolfeboro Railroad" flag.

Edaville Railroad currently owns the locomotive.

@@DeafBMRailroadFanbut there’s no standard gauge track at Edaville or is there

@@nicholasmedovich8691 no there isn't. The locomotive is on display.

@@DeafBMRailroadFanwhat about the coaches. Are they still surviving or were they scrapped

@@nicholasmedovich8691 to my knowledge I think a couple of them are in California know. I forget what railroad has them though.

It's a shame that its existence was brief.

How'd it die? Bad management or just lack of interest.

I only knew very little about the Wolfeboro Railroad before I was given these files. I was surprised to see myself that it had a steam locomotive.

@@DeafBMRailroadFan gotcha

Thank you! Unfortunately, I do not. The rest of what I have are photos.

Yes a couple more are coming up.

It's amazing that the locomotive is still in existence and in active service!

Thank you! Do you know what railroad she is active with now?

@ it’s on the Granite State Scenic now, though she hardly gets used since she’s an Alco on a Primarily EMD railroad. Gimme a second to pull my video up.

@@DeafBMRailroadFan th-cam.com/video/ouuHxOkh9Cg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QHkdn0grLeTg7Xck it’s the Alco in the first segment of the video.

@@NorthEasternMotionProductions gotcha. I never knew that was the same locomotive. Interesting on the reason why she's rarely used.

@ yea. The Granite State Scenic was the Hobo Railroad, which is important to note since that’s how Ed Clark started it as and how it ran until 2023. Ed Clark also had a pretty big role in the Wolfeboro too, which is how he got 1186. Also, 1186 was the Hobo’s first loco so it’s pretty significant. Plus, it did run as a main loco from 1987 until 2001 or 2005, when 958 took over for it. 958 is another Alco of theirs btw. It took over cuz it had better controls after it got a cab upgrade after it got into a crash before it went to the Hobo.
