As shown by the two photos taken at 'Lake Lobato', below, the improvements in the condition
of the track on C&TS between August, 2005 and September, 2009 are substantial.
Much of the work being done while I was in the area was in places that were not easy to get to,
but on September 16 I did catch some very modern-looking equipment, apparently modified from
standard-gauge, working just below the siding at Cresco. Hopefully someone will chime in here
and explain what each of these machines is, and how each operates.
