Do you feel as though you are often confronted with too many choices in life? Happen to be building a railroad? You’re going to be faced with many choices, not the least of which is the choice of gauge (the distance between the rails). Do you wonder about the so-called ‘standard’ gauge and whether it is really always the right choice when building a railway?<\/p>\n

Come to a presentation at the Alna Center Station on Saturday, May 18th to learn more. Attendees can reach the event from a train departing Sheepscot Station (97 Cross Road, Alna) at 6:30 PM. Following the presentation, the train will return to Sheepscot at 8:30PM<\/p>\n

Learn first-hand why 2-foot narrow gauge railways, like the ones built by the sensible people in the state of Maine, could be the right choice for your community. WW&F Railway Superintendent Jason Lamontagne will explain just how such a narrow gauge railway can enhance transportation, commerce and culture while doing so with an economy of cost and ease of construction, both things a ‘standard’ gauge railway could not match.<\/p>\n

At Alna Center there will be a bonfire and bean supper available at the event for $8.00, including hot dogs, salads, and drinks. Proceeds will benefit the continued reconstruction of the railway.<\/p>\n

Event tickets are $10.00 for adults, $5.00 for children 4-12 and free for children birth-3. Event tickets are available at the railway prior to 6:30PM or online. Advance tickets (available at wwfrytickets.simpletix.com<\/a>) are recommended, but not required. We cannot guarantee space on the train without an advance ticket.<\/p>\n

Arrive 30 minutes prior to departure to ensure a relaxed boarding experience.<\/p>\n

For more information visit www.wwfry.org or call 207-882-4193<\/p>\n

~Event is weather permitting~ In the case of foul weather ticket holders will be informed and tickets will be refunded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
