N.H. Doug Andrew came up and did a fantastic job mowing the grounds, weed wacking, and cutting small trees along the new driveway. I organized some piles of lumber left by previous contractors and swept out the dust, dirt, and leaves from the floor. I had a nice lunch at Cabin Fever across the tracks and climbed up onto the roof of the snowplow to inspect the cupola. The cupola is not fairing well and will need help before the end of the season. Our next work date will be on Sunday, June 30th when I intend to begin working on the cupola of the snowplow. I am asking anyone who wishes to join our group and has some carpentry skills to please feel free to do so. Things got wrapped up in time at the roundhouse for me to stop and take pictures of the Conway Scenic Railroad's Valley train as it pulled into town. I got some nice pics of my friend Bill Willis, without him my Christmas tree would be ornament-less. I also stopped by the river bank in Glen and lensed the return train as it passed through the bridge. Walking back to the car I picked up some fresh apple cider, and then had a nice visit and dinner with Scotty Mallett capping off a very pleasant end to a very productive day.<br />

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<div class="m_8836920624169092244_5pbx m_8836920624169092244userContent m_8836920624169092244_3ds9 m_8836920624169092244_3576" id="m_8836920624169092244js_6" style="border-bottom-style: none; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 12px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
Looking back at 2018 was quite an eye-opener. We accomplished a great deal during that time. In particular, we saw great progress on our restoration process with the inclusion of a grant from the Land & Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) organization which, coupled with a matching grant from the State of New Hampshire, allowed us to contract with Gordon T Burke and Sons to continue the restoration work on the sides of stalls one, two, and four, and the backs of stalls three and four. The grant money came in later than expected, but Burke was able to redo the side of stall one, retaining much of the existing siding while repairing sills along the rear area where the extension had been done. Much of the wood at the bottom was rotted and replaced. They also replaced the old plywood in the windows and repaired damage to the sills to allow installation of plywood sheets held in by molding to secure the structure from the weather. Our driveway, which had been in the works for a few years, was put in and a gate onto Route 302 installed and protected by a locked chain. Work was not quite done on the side of stall four when the weather precluded doing anything until spring (I am told by Brian Lombard, who, while retired from the NH DOT, is still working with us to get this part of the project completed). The cost of materials went up from the time we requested the grants until the work started, so we are going to have to reduce the amount of work done, concentrating the remainder of our current efforts on securing the rear side of stall two. The plywood in place on the backs of stalls three and four is is good enough shape to hold until we can move on to developing and reconstructing the machine shop against that wall.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
We developed a plan for the entire complex, breaking the restoration down into smaller projects to allow us to bring the complete building back and to effect the transition of some initial displays to be in keeping with our plan to create a functioning museum on the site. This will include adding electrical service to the building (could possibly go under the Mountain Division tracks rather than overhead), to either add water and toilets to the facility or put in State Park style outdoor toilets in keeping with the typical State of New Hampshire state facility toilets. We also will look at having a complete historical archaeological survey done of the property to allow us to put in a walking trail with signage that will allow visitors to take short walks to sites on the property where various facilities once stood.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
On the building itself, we need to complete the restoration of the side of stall two (we have received an additional $2000 grant from the Mass Bay RRE group to help with this), to do a building plan with an architect to allow reconstruction of the machine shop and office structures, keeping them consistent with the structures that were originally there, and to repair the front main doors, one of which needs a new bottom stile (the bottom part of the door…a tenon which went between it and the vertical rail of the door is sheared off and needs to be replaced). We need to add tracks back into stall one to allow movement of our display railroad equipment to be moved inside for restoration and to keep further deterioration from happening.<br />There are windows at the tops of the front doors which need to be replaced to allow light into the building. And, we need to develop a parking plan for visitors around the front of the structure with handicap access included.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
In conclusion, I want to express my sincere thanks to all of the Board members, society members, and support organizations for their interest and participation in the process of bringing this wonderful structure back to life. I have had a great few years as your chief but feel that I have reached the age in my life where I want to move the process of my retiring from public service forward. I feel that younger minds and hearts need to have the chance to step up and provide the energy and passion necessary to keep the ball rolling, and so I step down.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
As your outgoing President, I know we could not have achieved this without all of you being involved. Special thanks go out to Jill Edelman of the NH DOT. Brian Lombard, now retired from the NH DOT, our liaison with the construction companies, and George Born of LCHIP for their support and assistance in making this all happen. It is my intention to not only step down as President at this time but to also withdraw from active participation in the E Board to allow the new Vice President, if he is not a Board Member currently, to become one. I plan to continue with the Society as an advisor and as the Grant Writer so that we can assure access to future funding to achieve our goals.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Good fortune to you all!</div>

Webb Awards Bartlett Roundhouse 2,000.00WW&F receives 2019 H. Albert Webb Memorial Railroad Preservation Award
The Massachusetts Bay Railroad Enthusiasts, Inc. (“Mass Bay RRE”) has announced that the Wiscasset,
Waterville & Farmington Railway Museum of Alna, Maine, is the recipient of the 2019 H. Albert Webb
Memorial Railroad Preservation Award. This $10,000 grant will enable the WW&F to purchase track materials
and services needed to complete the Museum’s ambitious “Mountain Extension” project.
“The Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington Railway Museum is ecstatic with the interest that the Mountain
Extension has received from the entire heritage railway community, and we thank the Mass Bay RRE, and Leigh
Webb in particular, for their support of this project. The continued restoration of the WW&F Railway would not
be possible without the enthusiasm and excitement among railroad preservationists. We appreciate the
long-time support from the Mass Bay RRE which directly fuels the motivation, interest and progress of our
volunteers,” said Dave Buczkowski, President of the WW&F “The $10,000 grant will greatly aid our push to
extend the railway across Trout Brook to Route 218!”
While the railroad has been consistently extended since the Museum was founded, the Mountain Extension
Project is particularly challenging. The Project is a multi-year effort to re-lay track on three-quarters of a mile of
the original WW&F Railway's grade, a scenic descent of a mountainside that brings the railway to the former
Boston & Maine Railroad Howe pony truss bridge, installed by the museum over Trout Brook in 2018, and
beyond to a new station adjacent to Maine Route 218. Last fall museum volunteers laid over 1,900 feet of track
over three days, and in October 2019, they intend to lay another 2,000 feet of track. The entire Mountain
Extension will be completed and opened for operation in 2021, following construction of a run around track and
other facilities adjacent to the Trout Brook Nature Preserve. Once complete, the ride will reach a natural
terminus at a major state road with conservation land along either side of the Museum-owned right-of-way.
Leigh A. Webb of Franklin, New Hampshire, donor of the award named for his late father, said, “Once again
the Mass Bay RRE Award Committee has selected a worthy recipient. The WW&F truly understands the
inestimable value of sustaining and recruiting a passionate hands-on volunteer base that also emphasizes the
future of all such organizations: getting the young involved. Congratulations, not just for the project that is
receiving the Award, but for all the success the WW&F has had, and will continue to have.”
Mr. Webb created the H. Albert Webb Memorial Railroad Preservation Award in 2000 to recognize his
father's love for New England railroading. The award aids nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations that preserve
historically significant railroad equipment, structures or information from New England railroads. In the ensuing
years the Award has distributed over $160,000 to support worthy railroad preservation projects throughout New
England.
Mass Bay RRE President David Brown, along with William Crawford, Chair of the Mass Bay RRE Award
Committee, announced the 2019 Award to the Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington Railway Museum on
Saturday, January 26, 2019, during the Amherst Railway Society's “Railroad Hobby Show” in West Springfield,
Mass., the largest event of its kind in New England. Mr. Brown also announced the ten recipients of grants from
the Mass Bay RRE Railroad Preservation Fund, totaling $22,500.
Mass Bay RRE Announces Recipients of 2019 Railroad Preservation Grants
Massachusetts Bay Railroad Enthusiasts President David Brown announced the recipients of the 2019 Mass
Bay RRE Railroad Preservation Fund grants on Saturday, January 26, 2019, during the Amherst Railway Society's
“Railroad Hobby Show” in West Springfield, Mass. This year, the organization, founded in 1934 and known
nationally for its rail excursions, is making Preservation Grants totaling $22,500 to ten worthy organizations.
Mass Bay RRE established the Mass Bay RRE Railroad Preservation Fund in 2016 to further support worthy
projects to preserve historically significant railroad equipment, structures, information or artifacts in New
England. Grants, generally not exceeding $5000, are awarded annually, funded by the Club's available funds and
donations to the fund from members.
Each year, Mass Bay RRE is designating its largest Preservation Fund grant or grants as “The Ralph S. Hawkins
Memorial Railroad Preservation Grant” to honor and preserve the memory of its dear friend and supporter,

We have organized railroad excursions since 1934. Visit our website: www.massbayrre.org
Ralph Hawkins, who died suddenly early in 2018. For 2019 there are two recipients of the Ralph S. Hawkins
Memorial Railroad Preservation Grants:
The 470 Railroad Club of Cumberland, Maine, will receive $5,000 toward the restoration to operating
condition of Boston & Maine F7A locomotive No. 4268. The 4268, along with sister unit 4266, are survivors from
the B&M’s initial purchase of four units from EMD in 1949 and 1950. The two locomotives were purchased by
the 470 Railroad Club in the 1980s; 4266 was restored and leased to the Conway Scenic Railroad, where it
regularly powers passenger trains. The 4268 has been on static display at the Conway Scenic, lacking necessary
operating equipment including the diesel engine, generator and electrical equipment. The 470 Club purchased a
1959 EMD GP9 to supply these needed components, and its diesel prime mover was installed in the 4268 in
November, 2018. When restoration is complete (expected in 2020), the 4268 will be leased to the Conway Scenic
and will operate along with the 4266.
Greenville Junction Depot Friends of Greenville, Maine, will receive $5,000 toward the restoration of the
roof of the 1889 Canadian Pacific Railway Depot in Greenville Junction, Maine. The depot, on the southwestern
shore of Moosehead Lake, is an arresting structure, one of five of its kind in New England and the only one in
Maine. The building’s significance rests in its Queen Anne style, its historic function, and its association with the
Canadian Pacific Railway. The Depot was decommissioned and abandoned in 1965. In 2008 Preservation Maine
listed the structure as one of “Maine's most endangered historic properties.” The Friends organized in 2010,
began to raise funds locally, and undertook to "save the Depot." In 2015 the building was removed from Maine
Preservation's list of endangered historic properties and in 2017 it was enrolled in the National Register of
Historic Places. Even in the early stages of its restoration, the stately 1889 structure in the Stick-wood style
recalls the heyday of passenger and rail transportation in the Moosehead Lake Region and in northern New
England and stands ready to tell its rich story to new generations of visitors.
The other recipients of 2019 Mass Bay RRE Railroad Preservation Fund grants are:
• Ipswich Museum of Ipswich, MA, $3,000.00 for restoration of Rowley Boston & Maine RR crossing tender
shanty.
• Bartlett Roundhouse Preservation Society of Nashua, NH, $2,000.00 to replace siding & restore door on
historic Bartlett roundhouse.
• Connecticut Eastern Chapter NRHS of Willimantic, CT, $2,000.00 for permanent identification placards on
Museum buildings & rolling stock.
• The New Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes RR of Phillips, ME, $2,000.00 for the overhaul of 1883 boxcar/tool
car no. 562.
• Boston Street Railway Association of Boston, MA, $1,000.00 for labor & materials for canvas roof
restoration on Boston Elevated Railway Type 5 Streetcar #5706.
• Seashore Trolley Museum of Kennebunkport, ME, $1,000.00 to complete restoration of Boston Car #4175.
• Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum of Shelburne Falls, MA, $1,000.00 for the car barn extension project
• Lackawanna & Wyoming Valley RRHS of Scranton, PA, $500.00 for purchase of sight glasses for the cab of
B&M Locomotive #3713.
The application period for the 2020 H. Albert Webb Memorial Railroad Preservation Award and the Mass
Bay RRE Railroad Preservation Fund Grants will open in July of 2019. Additional information about the H. Albert
Webb Award and the Mass Bay RRE Grant program is available on Mass Bay RRE's website at:

Hello friends!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
What a tremendous year 2018 was for the Bartlett Roundhouse Preservation Society and the needed repairs on the roundhouse! After we received the grant from the LCHIP organization in December of 2017, it took us a while to get all the pieces in place to begin the work, but we did it! Work started finally in October.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Our partners in this project, the New Hampshire Dept of Transportation, acting as our construction managers, worked closely with Burke and Sons Co<span class="m_8166126895888689495text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">nstruction to gather the necessary materials, repair the bottom sills along much of the front of stall one and a portion of the rear of the wall on stall four, and begin the lengthy job of residing and repairing the window mounts and plywood to help keep the building more secure. </span></div>
<div class="m_8166126895888689495text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
Weather precluded finishing off the top part of the stall four walls, which will wait until spring. Still in the plan is to add some plywood to the rear of stalls three and four and put in some form of grating at the top to allow for good air flow in the structure. We also still hope to get some work done on the rear side of stall two, but costs increased on us during the time we were organizing the grant access and the time we began the construction work so we will be needing an additional $10,000 to $15,000 beyond what the grant and matching funds from the state will allow us to accomplish. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The painting will happen in the spring on the completed walls, matching the paint on the rear of stalls one and two. And, we now have our own crossing over the Mountain Division main line near to the Route 302 crossing; it is cabled, so access requires a key (I have them in hand and will distribute them to the required users at our next business meeting this coming spring).</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Future projects we are working toward include adding the machine shop structure back onto the rear of stalls three and four, and adding the office back onto the side of stall four (to become our archive location). We also want to create a nature trail out through the woods behind the roundhouse that will tour and define all of the spots on the property where important work was done back in the day. We also want to work toward getting our snowplow finished off cosmetically and to get the boxcar repaired and weather tight.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
We invite all of you to help us fund this additional work with donations sent to our PO Box, or contact our secretary to pay through PayPal. It will be greatly appreciated!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I want to thank everyone involved in making this work a reality, as it has really moved us forward toward our goal of opening a railroad museum dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of railroading in Crawford Notch and the northern New Hampshire area!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Let's make 2019 another banner year!</div>

By lunchtime, the weather turned in our favor, and we finished installing the new sheathing boards, and Bob caulked the seams. The next step will be to ad the quarter-rounds to the edges and finish caulking them. Then a primer coat, and a green paint coat.</span><br />

The work session dates for the 2018 season are as follows: May 26/27, June 9/10, July (most of us are wrapped up with Thomas, so we'll have to see if we need to schedule a date during that month if there is a need), August 5, September 8/9, October 20/21, and a tentative date for November 4 (mostly to winterize the property, remove any paint and other items that need to be stored from freezing). These dates are arranged so that if there is bad weather on one day of the weekend, the other day may be scheduled for the session. Generally, the work sessions will not take up an entire weekend unless there is a great need during a project. This allows for some flexibility for most folks, and if someone is interested in participating in a work session, please let us know in advance so that the sessions can be planned to provide enough activities for those attending. As a particular work session date approaches, I will have a notice posted on the blog as to what our planned activities will be and if it will be held on Saturday or Sunday of that weekend. I invite any questions, concerns, and comments and look forward to seeing everyone soon.Scottyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10746742492758049812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411016701313608566.post-81482163559241105372018-04-30T13:33:00.000-04:002018-04-30T13:33:00.101-04:00Hello All,<br />

<br />
As you can see from the previous posting, this is an exciting day for the Society! We have received a $25000 grant from the NH Land and Community Heritage Investment Program, to be used with allocated matching funds from other sources, to repair and restore all of the exterior walls of the Roundhouse, except the front main door area and the backs of stalls one and two, which our latest grant from the Moose Plate Program allowed us to achieve. This is a historic moment for us. We are now a huge step closer to our ultimate goal of creating a railroad history museum and interpretive center on railroading in Bartlett, Crawford Notch, and northern New Hampshire. <br />
<br />
Those of us involved in the project from the beginning weren't even thinking this far ahead when we began the process just to save and stabilize the structure back in 2006. This was so far in the future for us that we couldn't even hope to see this day coming. We had great ideas back then, but little to begin with. Now we are actively moving the restoration and repair project so far forward that the dream of a museum in place here is now a reality. Our goal to get this museum up and running within the next six or seven years is now really possible!<br />
<br />
Passion for this project, from that of our original President, Scott Mallett, and executive board, and those of us who are now guiding the process forward, is strong, enthusiastic, excited, and determined to see our roundhouse brought back to life. Passion is what gets us motivated to achieve what we need to. We are lucky to have this, for, without it, the roundhouse would have been long ago torn down.<br />
<br />
We invite all who read this to view our blog and our Facebook page and to become familiar with our efforts and results. Hopefully, more of you will take the time to help us keep this project moving forward through your donations and support,<br />
<br />
Thanks again to the LCHIP board for their consideration of our project's worth to the historic fabric of our heritage here in New Hampshire, and their honoring us with this grant. <br />
<br />
Thanks also to the Bartlett Roundhouse Preservation Society board and members for their hard work over the years making this dream come to fruition.<br />
<br />
Watch this site for further updates as we move forward!<br />

<span data-offset-key="fbo93-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;">This has been a very interesting series of weeks. As many of you know, there were severe floods on the rivers in and around Bartlett a couple of weeks ago which caused serious damage to the Maine Central Mountain Division in areas along the Saco River. There were a number of washouts and some of our friends in the area lost personal property and vehicles to the incredible water levels. I ran up and checked out the roundhouse shortly after the floods had passed and am pleased to report that it weathered the storms well. The floods did not impact the structure at all. As a matter of face, I visited during a rainstorm and found that the new extension on the back side of the roof at stalls one and two was doing exactly what it was intended to to...moving the water coming off the roof farther away from the wall to prevent it getting back inside as it was before. Thanks to the NH DOT for this small but important improvement to the building!</span></div>

The village of Hooksett New Hampshire has had an old road bridge spanning the Merrimack River for many of years. Not too long ago, it was replaced with a more modern span that allowed better traffic movement through the village and the old bridge was retired. It did get listed on the National Register of Historic Places, however, which should have been incentive to see that it survived for posterity. Unfortunately, the structure gradually was allowed to degrade to the point where it had to be destroyed, thereby eliminating an integral piece of our New Hampshire historical narrative. It was dropped to great fanfare a few days ago and is now being removed piecemeal from the river.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What struck me most was that this was almost what was to happen to the Bartlett Roundhouse not too many short years ago and would have, had the Society not been created to lobby and work with the State of New Hampshire to preserve and protect the building for future. Our historic canvas is fragile and must be attended to if we are to keep that narrative going. Going forward, it becomes even more important for the effort to continue. On that note, I think we as a Society should continuously rededicate our focus and activities to the conservation of this important piece of our heritage. I am personally very proud to be a participant in the work and the process. I hope all of you are as well!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Society thanks you for supporting our efforts so far and hope that you will continue to do so as we make progress.</div>

I also have photos, but they will be redundant with those already posted. Suffice to say that work is moving right along and much progress has been made. Cam Sargent, our Vice President advised that the walls have been partially sided now and that that effort should be done fairly quickly, now that the structural repairs and the new sheathing and moisture barrier are in place. Apparently, the upper walls were found to be floating and in need of connection to the structure and that has been done (we had previously had some work done on the bottom, but the top was inaccessible at that time). We are now looking at how this should be painted, once the siding is in place. The building was painted completely green at some point, but, according to our retired archivist, Scott Mallett, the walls were actually green only from the ground up to the bottom of the window sills and gray above that with the trim green. We are now seeking proof that this was how the structure was painted, so that we can provide a historically accurate representation of how the building looked when in active service with the railroads. If anyone has a photo image that shows this color separation, we would greatly appreciate their sharing with us. This is an exciting time for us and validation of the process that Scott and the original Society members began so many years ago. Keep watching for more updates as the work progresses!</span><br />

The State of NH Bureau of Rail and Transit will be chipping in an addition to the grant. The monies will be used to start rehab of the building and will begin with the rear of Stalls 1&2 which are in need of most repair. The combined total of the grant and funds from the State of NH is $25,000.00. I will let you know more about when the rehab will start as soon as I have the information.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px;" /><a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=1538861701" href="https://www.facebook.com/scotty.mallett" style="background-color: white; color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; text-decoration: none;">Scotty Mallett</a>Scottyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10746742492758049812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411016701313608566.post-46571718289883438172015-05-18T18:53:00.001-04:002016-06-29T17:12:19.282-04:00New Distributor...................We are happy to announce that we are now a proud distributor of Herron Rail Videos!

Hi Everyone,</div>
<div>
Well Pete Davis and I had a meeting with Jill Edelmann from the NHDOT and Peter Michaud from the Division of Historical Resourses on Thursday the 26th of June and I have some SPECTACULAR news. The NHDOT on this past Tuesday the 24th of June allotted funding to hire a specialist to do the National Register nomination for the Bartlett Roundhouse. This means if all goes according to plan, the Bartlett Roundhouse will be listed on the National Register of Historic places by Christmas!! When this is complete it opens up avenues like driveway access and gives us points in grants such as the LCHIP grant and the Tillostan grants.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jill is also going to see about getting us a letter from the head of the DOT which gives us permission to apply for grants for the Roundhouse and supports us doing so.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jill is also seeing about us becoming "Stewards" of the building by coming up with a stewardship plan. Stewards are like caretakers, except more in a official manner.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jill is also finding out who our new RR contact at the Bureau of Rail and transit is so we can move forward in that direction as well. Our past contacts have become busy with other projects and she is going to find out who is spearheading the Bartlett Roundhouse.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A great meeting and a win for the History of Bartlett and Bartlett Village!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Very best to you all!<br />
