Boothbay Railway Museum
My first visit to the Boothbay Railway Museum was in 1964. There wasn't much here at that time, but I did find this little 2-foot gauge Henschel 0-4-0T.

I stopped again in the spring of 1965; it was obvious that a lot of work was still ahead. On the left is the former Thorndike station and the Freeport station on the right.
