The conductor makes the hitch as the crew puts together the first train of the day on the two foot gauge WW&F. The WW&F website states that Locomotive 9 was built in 1891 by the Portland Company, Portland Maine, for the Sandy River Railroad. It was the 622nd locomotive built by the Portland Company, one of ten two-foot gauge locomotives built by that manufacturer. This locomotive gained four different numbers over its 40+ year operational history: SRRR #5, Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes (SR&RL) #6 in 1908, Kennebec Central (KC) #4 in 1924, and finally WW&F #9 in 1933.
