Its been a long time since I have posted here -- or posted a video at my YouTube Channel, but that doesn't mean I've gone dormant. Just too many fish to fry I guess. Anyway, I know that many of you have been interested in the progress of the little railroad at Strasburg, CO so I share with you this update:
Golden Spike Day on the CC&E. We have finally finished the loop and can now spend many happy hours chasing our caboose. Well, OK, we don't actually have a caboose, maybe we should build one.
Of course, as with any railroad, there is still a lot of work to be done -- and redone. The next big project is completion of the gallows turntable at the east yard.
