FOREWORD
Big Dreams and Little Wheels is a comprehensive history of the Wiscasset and Quebec Railroad from the dream stage to the last turn of its little wheels at Whitefield in 1933. It deals with its incorporation in 1854; its construction in the 1890's; how it got its new name, Wiscasset, Waterville and Farmington Railway; and its operation from 1895 until the end. It also tells of the part it played in the life of the communities through which it passed.
Many of the stories told and retold are those which have been handed down by actual workmen on the railroad, or members of their families, to any of us who were willing to listen. Many thanks go to all of you who have helped us to preserve them.
