IN Tuesday, the restored S.D. Warren #2 was christened at Boothbay Railway Village in Maine after a 10 year restoration. The locomotive was built by Baldwin in 1895 and is the only operational 2 foot gauge industrial locomotive that ran in Maine. The locomotive was christened with a bottle of Moxie. The following is an article from a local newspaper:
