Steam & Excursion > Some old EDAVille shotsDate: 06/09/13 09:53 Some old EDAVille shots Author: hepc46 Along with the previous 3 pics in the other thread, there were a bunch of old Strasburg and EDAville shots. Scanned the 7 Edaville shots, so here they are. Again, no date, and some overexposed. No idea who the girl hanging off the boxcar is...

Date: 06/09/13 14:17 Re: Some old EDAVille shots Author: africansteam Your second shot shows what appears to be a 6-chime whistle on the locomotive. Over the years I have seen other photos of Edaville engines with similar whistles, obviously not original to the loco. Any ideas where these came from - RR, etc?

However, some equipment still remains at Edaville. Fortunately, by the late 60's and early 70's most of the Maine 2 footers were repainted out of the rather garish paint scheme into more authentic 2 footer colors. I believe there is a wealth of information about the Maine 2 Footers on a Mark I video--Massachusetts' Maine Attraction.
BTW, I grew up only about 25 miles from Edaville. Marty Harrison Knob Noster, MO Date: 06/09/13 17:21 Re: Some old EDAVille shots Author: africansteam LIL_BUDDY Wrote:
