The Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington (WW&F) Railway Museum is the 2008 winner of the H. Albert Webb Memorial Railroad Preservation Award.

The $10,000 grant associated with this award will pay for expanding the Museum's car storage and repair building at Sheepscot Station in Alna.

"A larger car-shop will keep more of our historic two-foot-gauge engines out of Maine's harsh weather," said Alfred E. Wyllie of Warren, president of the WW&F Museum. "This expansion will also give us more room for the machinery and tools we use to repair and restore our equipment."

Mass Bay Railroad Enthusiast, Inc. member Leigh A. Webb, sponsor of the award honoring his late father said, "Weather in New England is particularly brutal on irreplaceable railroad stock. It is entirely appropriate that this year's award will go to help the WW&F Museum protect its most precious assets."
