The Edaville Collection

The Edaville Railroad in South Carver, Massachusetts was the last bastion of two-foot gauge railroading in the United States.  Comprised of equipment which formerly operated in the State of Maine, the Edaville was originally built to service a cranberry plantation owned by Ellis D. Atwood.  The little steam powered train soon became a major tourist attraction and one of America's first "theme parks."  Established in 1941, the five-mile line was a New England fixture until it closed in 1991.
This DVD includes two films:
Massachusetts' Maine Attraction: The only definitive documentary on Edaville ever produced.  Through archival footage you learn the history of the Maine Two-footers and observe regular-service trains on the Sandy River and Bridgton and Harrison Railroads as well as the evolution of Edaville.
Edaville Revisited: Describes the sale and movement of most of the Edaville equipment to the new Maine Narrow Gauge Museum in Portland, and the short-llived 1997 revival of Edaville itself.
