Daniel Elthelbert "Albert" Wort, was an inventor, genius. At 10 years old he built a model of a grasshopper value gear, that in later years was applied to locomotives. He was enrolled as a member of the Institute of American Inventors, Sept.28, 1939 for this grasshopper action. He built miniature trains (four locomotives, passenger cars, coal tenders, round house, freight cars), complete in every detail, decided he wanted a railway all of his own. Albert laid a mile of rail line track on Island Park, Woodstock, N.B. The trains were under steam each Saturday and holidays, during the summers from 1921 to 1938. Taking passengers around the island for five cents a ride. He engineered the old water works for the town. Albert was a descendant of United Empire Loyalists, Conrad & Mary (Small) Wort, who were exiled to Saint John, N.B. in 1782 from New York. Photo and information courtesy of Sharon Webb.
