Final chapter for Randolph Togus narrow gauge rail line
The Kennebec Central railroad’s Randolph Togus line ended when the first rolling stock, an eighteen ton engine, was moved to Wiscasset. All engines and cars were sold to Frank W. Winter of Auburn for the Wiscasset Waterville and Farmington road, to be used while most equipment is junked. The small line ceased three years ago after Gov coal freighting rights went to an Augusta firm. For 40 years Weston Lewis and J. S. Maxcy ran the office, and the line once carried Civil War veterans and spectators.
