Our Grand Daughter came and visited with us in August.

The locomotive got a good work out going back and forth

for hours on the 100ft of track. She had more fun than humans

should be allowed.

This is the first snow on the new track early Nov. 2008. Since the big lay-off in Feb. 2009 not much has happened on the railroad. No funds for more rail. I've tried to do some grading but the dirt is mud. Maybe after June 2009 our afternoon thunder showers will stop so some grading can be done. Tammy and I got to ride the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad on Memorial Day 5/25/09. Good trip but no steam on that monday.
