Fire destroyed the enginehouse at Wiscasset in December 1931, leaving the two Baldwin locomotives charred and unserviceable. Note that engine No. 6 has an outside Southern valve gear. Applied in later years, it was a unique appliance for the two-foot gauge, exclusive to the Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington.

When still in service the same year before the fateful fire, engine No. 7 is lined up for servicing along with a Portland Forney at Wiscasset.

The Porter Forney No. 4 is shown in front of the shop building beside combination car No. 2. This was the last two-foot-gauge railway post office, which ended its service on June 15, 1933, when engine No. 8 left the rails at South Whitefield on a train from Albion to Wiscasset.
