The county of Meulan, in Normandy, France, appeared as an entity within the region of the Vexin when the otherwise unknown Count Waleran established an independent power base on a fortified island in the River Seine, around the year 1020. Waleran's origins are subject to several genealogical myths, not least that he had predecessors in his office.
Waleran was active in the politics of his day, but the extent of the county at that date is unknown. Both he and his son Count Hugh maintained an independence from the Capetian king at Paris by a judicious if dangerous alliance with the dukes of Normandy downstream. This led to the marriage of Adeline, Count Hugh's sister, to the Norman magnate, Roger de Beaumont.
On Count Hugh's death in 1081 his nephew, Robert de Beaumont, acquired the county. In his time it is clear that the settlement of Meulan had thrown out a suburb (called Locenis) on to the right bank of the Seine north of the fortified island. After 1109 and the sacking of the town by Louis VI of France, Count Robert built a new castle on the bluffs of Locenis. The original island settlement was dominated now by a fortified bridge, at which river tolls were collected, and the church of St Nicaise, refounded by the count as a priory of the Norman abbey of Bec-Hellouin. Count Robert founded a collegiate church of St Nicholas in his new castle.

Waco, Beaumont, Trinity & Sabine Railway - 1946 - Robert W Richardson
WBTSrailway.net
The Wobbly was a back-woods steam railroad that ran through rural east Texas. As far as I know, only two videos were ever taken of the line. John Frank was kind enough to share his video with me and it's posted on the website. The only other video I know of was taken by none other than Robert W Richardson. The Colorado Railroad Museum has an edited version of it in their collection, but not the original film or negatives. This version was edited by Mr. Richardson some years after his 1946 visit. His ride is detailed in his book "Chasing Trains," an excerpt of which is on the WBTS website.
Unfortunately, a few of the video clips were in the wrong order. I'm assuming with the passage of time, Bob just put it together wrong when it was edited. Whatever the reason, it wa...

The Wobbly was a back-woods steam railroad that ran through rural east Texas. As far as I know, only two videos were ever taken of the line. John Frank was kind enough to share his video with me and it's posted on the website. The only other video I know of was taken by none other than Robert W Richardson. The Colorado Railroad Museum has an edited version of it in their collection, but not the original film or negatives. This version was edited by Mr. Richardson some years after his 1946 visit. His ride is detailed in his book "Chasing Trains," an excerpt of which is on the WBTS website.
Unfortunately, a few of the video clips were in the wrong order. I'm assuming with the passage of time, Bob just put it together wrong when it was edited. Whatever the reason, it was simple to fix now that it's digital. Other than adding a few captions in appropriate areas to help tell the story and fixing the order of the clips, I made no changes or cuts to the video footage.
Seeing as how this was recorded on 8mm in 1946, there is no sound. So to begin and end the video, I used a piece of music written and performed by Ed Stabler for a 2014 documentary on the Texas State Railroad that we produced together. I think it fits this WBTS video for a few reasons:
1) It's titled "East Texas Train" which certainly applies to the Wobbly.
2) The style of music perfectly fits the subject, IMHO.
3) The last conversation Ed and I had was about the new Wobbly website I'd just put on line. He was heading to the hospital for a minor surgery and asked me to call him to discuss after he was back... which of course didn't happen. So, this is another way to keep his memory alive.
Some things to note:
-The track conditions clearly indicate why the railroad got its moniker: Wobbly, Bobbly, Turnover & Stop
-The radiator is steaming in nearly every shot you can see it
-Check out the lady that seems to be talking on her the cell phone at 10:45
I strive for complete accuracy and corrections are welcomed.
Enjoy.
