Report No. 45

 WELL...

Other projects happened, and...

A week ago I finallllyyyy cleaned things up. That took about 3 hours. 

Then I ran a maintance train from Jamestown to Melones and back.

Leaving Jamestown Yard on the Angels Branch 4-28-25.

In Table Mt. Cut.

At the McArdles Switch 1.

Returning to Jamestown from Melones. The Lavenders and Iris are very happy this year.

Everything seamed to work ok with a few adjustments to the roadbed.

Time to pull more weeds and get some revenue trains going.

This year I plan to roof over the Jamestown Yard and maybe start heading to Angels from Melones.

We will see!

Had a great time at the annual Sierra Railway Historical Seminar today. Good to see everyone again. 

Thanks for checking in.

 Happy New Year

At the end of a hot summer, September, a lot of trains were run. I had the railway operating longer than before. For a full 30 days.

Then a deck project started. Family for Thanksgiving. Polar Express and Christmas.

And sadly my mother passed away in the middle of the Polar Express season. 

The Jamestown yard sat covered for 3 months.

I plan to get it ready to operate next week, since NO rain is in the forecast for 10+ days.

The oak trees this fall were very happy and dropped more acorns that I can remember in the last 30 years.

                                            You see why I cover the Jamestown yard.

I should have it ready for operation in a few days.

And no, the Hotel Nevills is still not done!

I'll post some pictures of the first train of 2025.
