Anyone who's been to Clark's Trading Post has probably seen their prized steam locomotive, WMCRR (formally Beebe River R.R.) Climax #6 pushing their excursion train through Wolfman Territory. This locomotive, as amazing as it is, is far from the only piece of their rather extensive logging railroad collection. In Railroad Days, almost every piece they own is placed in operation, whether they are operable under their own steam or not.
Their collection being ran during Railroad Days include:
- WMCRR Porter #1
- WMCRR Heisler #4 (this locomotive was a display only, not able to run under her own power)
- EB&LRR Baldwin 2-4-2 #5 (this locomotive was repainted in her East Brand & Lincoln paint, being the primary power of the logging train)
- WLCo Shay #5 (another locomotive unable to run under her own steam, this unit was repainted in her Woodstock Lumber Company paint)
- WMCRR Climax #6 (the primary power of all passenger trains, it would haul the passenger trains during Railroad Days with #4 leading unpowered)
- WMCRR GE 65 ton Switcher #7 (Once U.S. Army #1943)
- WMCRR Railbus #B1 (rarely used, and only used during Railroad Days)
If you would like the history of each piece of equipment, check out White Mountain Central's website: whitemountaince...
So for those who know, WMCRR's Railroad Days ended a yearly operation around 2014, however for their 50th Anniversary, Railroad Days was ran once more! The trackage only runs 2.5 miles, so chasing anything being ran is extensively difficult if not impossible, for the two days, I would go to various locations along the ROW, including the front of the station, entrance and exit of their Howe Bridge and the turn before and after, a siding full of logging equipment (the log extra would rest here to allow the Mainline excursion to pass), and rocks in the middle of the Pemigewasset River. Running through those spots would be the the passenger train, railbus, GE 65 ton with a B&M Caboose and the Shay, and a logging extra. For my first (and hopefully not last) Railroad Days, I had a great time catching a logging road rather than a mainline!
I know its a long video but I hope you enjoy it!
