Edaville USA
Carver, MA
August 30th, 2014 at 11:30PM
The Legend Trips had another memorable event investigating the historic Edaville USA in Carver, MA. We event got to ride the train to before the night started to learn all about the history of the location and the legends of the amusement park and the cranberry bogs. I used to visit this place quite a bit when I was a kid so it was a real treat to be there after the placed closed for the night. Would love to shoot more of Edaville at night and during the day when the place is in full swing.

Some history on Edavile USA:
"Then...
Ellis D. Atwood gave this historic amusement park its name, his initials (E.D.A). He started this railroad by purchasing most of the surviving equipment from Maineās once expansive network of two-foot gauge railās and had them trucked south to Carver, Massachusetts. This was the making of Edaville Railroad.
In Maine, these two-foot gauge rails covered several sections of the state starting in the late 1800ās. These short line railroads fell prey to the depression and competition from automobiles. With the railroads shutting down, Ellis D. Atwood began purchasing the remaining rails in 1946 and 1947 and had it trucked to cranberry bogs of Carver, Mass.
Atwood had a plan, he built a railroad 5 Ā½ miles long around his 1,800 acre plantation of cranberries. He used the trains to service his bogs as well as hauling paying customers through the plantation for sightseeing. This operation evolved into a āFamily Fun Parkā; with an emphasis on carnival type rides, bright lights and extravagant Christmas displays. Edaville Railroad became a local institution, and drew visitors from far and wide.
Now...
Jon Delli Priscoli purchased Edaville and it's 250 acres in 2002. There have been many exciting changes under his ownership including, including the reconfiguration of the entire rail course and the incorporation of vintage amusement rides such as an antique carousel and an illuminated Ferris Wheel. Other attractions throughout the year include, āDay Out With Thomasā¢ā a family event centered around the Thomas the Tank Engineā¢ classic storybooks; the National Cranberry Festival, which features a train ride through the fall cranberry harvest; and the Christmas Festival of Lights offering rides through brilliantly lit displays in the winter."

Last shot of the day. Out for the day with a few friends, we travelled to several locations seeking out a few good images. This one seemed to cap the day. As soon as I captured & viewed this image in my camera, I felt it would be my image of the day.
The image is of the Rochfort Railway Trestle in Alberta, two hours northwest of Edmonton.
Thanks to Andy for organizing the days events. Thanks to my wife Lorna & to Deb & Chris for coming out for an enjoyable day.
