Bridgton & Saco River RR 2-4-4T No. 7Posted by: on Apr 5, 2026 @ 18:04:04
#7 has been stored “operational” at the Maine Narrow Gauge RR Museum since 2024, albeit hastily covered in MARINE SHRINK WRAP, sitting on a section of disconnected track on the Portland Pier. Major management issues and failure to contact developers resulted in loss of engine house facilities and some trackage, requiring diesel-only operations for the last several years and foreseeable future. #7 is technically still under private ownership, however the locomotive has been placed in a trust, of which MNG is listed as a primary beneficiary. All other Maine “Two Footers” (along with Edaville Equipment) are now located at Wiscasset, Waterville, and Farmington Ry’s roundhouse in Alna, ME.
