Cool video. What did you have to clear the tracks for?
I didn't really. The front truck derailed coming through those bushes and I had to stop it and rerail it. I just edited out the part where I came into the picture and thought that would be a good excuse for the why the train stopped at that point. You weren't supposed to ask that question, Steve. But for the story. let's just say the fireman had to get out and clear some fallen rocks off the tracks......;)

I’ll post the video here later since the one I posted on Facebook was a very high res and takes forever to load. I’m redoing it at a lower res. Stayed tuned.

Re-done, lower res edition…

Ken, great pictures, and a cool video… :slight_smile:

It’s still summer so this run qualifies ! Ken’s favorite caboose carries the markers through the newly re-built and re-sceniced Coal Dump Curve…

The curve is now a great picture spot…

Looks great Jon. Ken needs those log. At least someone is using logs. OL

Jon and Ken,

Great videos! Wow! Railroads are looking good.

The RR’s are looking good.
Mine, not so much :open_mouth:

Looks like it will be Fall before I can get serious and work on the RR =(

Did you really trip or were you pushed?

Looking good Jon! Nice pics. Maybe you should drop the logs at Walk Landing transfer facility, and Ken can load them on his flat bed on his way through. :slight_smile:
