Remarks & Notes |
Two days before Christmas Monson 3 is seen at South Carver with one of two steam-powered trains running at Edaville for the 2023 season. Monson 3 is on loan to Edaville from Maine Narrow Gauge for the season and has some serious history on this property as it was one of the original engines on the property.
Ellis D Atwood first opened Edaville Railroad in 1947 in the cranberry bogs of South Carver, Massachusetts. The original collection included most of the surviving Maine 2-foot gauge locomotives and rolling stock. Although Edaville is one of the oldest heritage railroads operating in the United States, the original park closed in 1991. At that time the collection was relocated to Portland at the Maine Narrow Gauge Museum. In 1999 the park was reopened although the nearly 6-mile route had been shorted to 2.5 miles.
