Today marks the 30th anniversary since the New Brunswick Southern Railway came to be. Here's a bit of a throwback to a couple years ago, when the frigid cold caused NBM to run multiple daylight trains. NBSR/EMR 121 is seen rolling through the VACIS at Vanceboro after meeting a 908 at McAdam on February 3, 2023. NBSR 6408 & 6409 were on their maiden run with Irving, as the long westbound stretches between the Canada/US border.

EMR's Woodland Job crosses the marshes of the Moosehorn Wildlife Refuge on it way back to the mill. The crew left behind 10 boxcars at Calais that will be picked up the following week since there wasn't enough room for them back at the mill.
On my second trip to the Eastern Maine Railway operation at Woodland I lucked out with a green GP38-3. I also got to visit with the conductor who I hadn't seen since he had left CP a few years prior.
As many of you know I wrote an article on Woodland for Railfan and Railroad, thinking it would be an easy story, however it took two more years of research to get everything wrapped up. This by far was my favorite photo I took of the line down there and I wish it had made it into the article.
On this day, the train can be seen crossing the frozen causeway to the north of the mill, with the mill in the background, while the conductor prepares to cut away from the log loads so they can do some switching moves at the mill. The snow on the ground is somewhat a rarity with this part of Maine not getting much if any accumulation due to its close proximity to the ocean.
If you are interested in the article it can be accessed online here: railfan.com/maine-attraction-woodland-rail/
I covered to the best of my ability all of the eras going back to the start of rail operations in the area, all the way to today along with information about what will be happening in the near future.

EMR 907 rumbles across the Eaton bog as they approach Danforth on their westbound trip on the Mattawamkeag Sub. They are catching the last slivers of weak daylight as they roll west with two SD70M-2's and 106 cars.
The first section of Eastern Maine Railway Train 907-26 crosses Route 2 in Mattawamkeag on 1/26/2022. At the time catching a SD70M-2 leading was fairly hard to do, with only 6 on the property and several down as trail only.
On this day SD70M-2's 6401 and 6402 along with NBSR SD40-2 8144 teamed up to move a lengthy train over EMR. In addition to this 907, a second one was crossing into the US about the time these guys hit Mattawamkeag. I can't remember if that one had a lease unit leading or if I wouldn't get them anywhere before dark, but I stuck with these guys the rest of the way to Brownville Jct.

EMR 180109 passes over the River Trent at Trent South Jn with a St Pancras-Nottingham working, 12/08/21. Drone.
The final days were upon us as the HSTs prepared to finish their operations on the Midland Mainline between London, Leicester, Derby, Nottingham, Sheffield and Leeds! 43274 stands at Chesterfield with the St Pancras - Leeds via Nottingham EMR service. 43102 was at the head of the service.

5N29 arrives in platform 4 at Crewe from the Carriage Sidings prior to forming 2N29 to Newark Castle.
EMR 908 rolls across the Penobscot River into Mattawamkeag, Maine, through some decent snowfall. This bridge structure is quite unique due to its round topped design.
Approaching the Canadian border a few hundred feet behind me, EMR Train 908-4 will soon finish the day in McAdam.
Vanceboro is home to 100 or so residents, EMR's MOW office, the US Border crossing, a general store I have seen open maybe 3 times in 5 years, and that's about it.
The winter of 2023 was slightly busier, with the paper mill at Woodland unloading logs on one of the sidings. Due to the unusually warm winter, logging companies were unable to operate many of the dirt logging roads which either washed out, or were impassable due to mud.
As a result the mill began shipping logs from the colder climate of northern Maine by rail. Even with 6-7 day a week service at the mill, the railroad couldn't keep up with log consumption by the chipper. So logs began to be unloaded at Vanceboro and were then trucked to the mill, hence the various log loaders in the yard. Out of view was around 3500 feet of empty log cars, awaiting pick up by 121 later that night. 908 the following day would backhaul some loaded cars from McAdam to be unloaded.
