Operating on the Northern Terminal

This past weekend, I attended an operating session on Brandon K's Northern Terminal layout.  Brandon's layout is based on a 1970's era line connecting Waterville and Rockland over the former narrow gauge WW&F right-of-way.  I used to operate on this layout regularly before a career move and family made the trip much more difficult.

Thank you Brandon for hosting.  It was great to catch up with you and with everyone else in attendance.
