Commemorating the KCRR's service to our nation's vets

Reenactors from Company A of the 3rd Maine Infantry pose as Civil War veterans with Kennebec Central Railroad Locomotive #4 during the June 2025 "Road to Togus" event at Maine's Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington Railway Museum in Alna, Maine. This event commemorated the 5-mile-long, Kennebec Central Railroad, and its service to our nation's Civil War vets. The Kennebec Central served the National Soldier's Home in Togus, ME from 1890 to 1929, providing transportation for veterans and freight services between Togus and the nearby City of Randolph, Maine. WW&F Locomotive #9 served four, Maine 2-foot railroads in its 40+ year operational career and from 1924 to 1929, it was, in fact, Kennebec Central #4. The locomotive was re-lettered in the livery of her former owner especially for this event.
