Whats with the cobra?

 

What's up with quoting five images to write four words on just one of them?

 

That cobra is on U.S. 1 at the Miami Serperterium.

 

Train accident of the morning of Friday, September 12, 1905 at Alna, Maine. Engine #4 was derailed. This train was part of the Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington Railway, a narrow gauge line that operated from about 1895-1934. On the morning of the accident, the train was heading for Wiscasset. Among the passengers were sixty-five Freemasons from Waterville on their way to visit another chapter in Wiscasset. The wreck came to be known as "The Masons' Wreck". The train was steaming up an incline and was passing over a short, open bridge when the engine jumped the rails and ran into the shallow brook. The box car, the express car, and the postal and baggage cars piled up. The two passenger cars did not leave the tracks. There were no injuries in the accident.

Having fun their own way....

 

Cute little "tea kettle"! The Wiscasset and Quebec Railroad began operating on February 20, 1895. The line was reorganized in 1901 as the Wiscasset, Waterville and Farmington Railway. In the late 1920s, the railroad began to struggle, thanks to competition from roads. On June 15, 1933, as a result of a locomotive derailment, operations ceased. Most of the railroad was scrapped.
Beginning in the early 1990s, a non-profit organization established the WW&F Railway Museum. It restored several privately owned pieces of former WW&F rolling stock and rebuilt about 2 miles of former WW&F track in Alna. The museum runs two-foot gauge steam and diesel locomotives and other historic equipment, and has other pieces on static display.
