An
unusually warm, late September morning brings a large crowd to the park.
This little 4-4-2 steam engine is waiting for the line of trains to clear
the station. |
 |
This
C.O.R.P switcher is waiting at the station for the ol', "All Aboard"! |
 |
Here's
that little 4-4-2 steamer waiting for passengers at the station. |
 |
These
UP passenger cars hold up to 6 people |
 |
This
BN train is 'splitting the blades' of a USS Type B lower quadrant semaphore.
Many of which can still be found today on the local Siskiyou Line of the
former Southern Pacific RR. |
 |
My
favorite, a B&O 2-8-2 Mikado splitting the blades. |
 |
In
communication with the 'Conductor'. Note the scale working signals. |
 |
Here's
the B&O 2-8-2 Mikado steaming out of the station. It seems to be the
fastest runner at the park. |
 |
A
view of the station area from the car barn area. |
 |
Here
is a tunnel that kids love to scream when the train passes through. |
 |
The
4-4-2 glides through the tunnel. There is another unfinished tunnel on
the grounds soon to open, along with longer tracks, bridges trestles etc. |
 |
The
Mikado passes under an unfinished trestle, soon to have trains above give
a thrilling ride, especially if there is a train below as you are looking
down. |
 |
A view out from the 'Beanery'. Best hot dogs in town, sodas, ice cream,
my favorite stop. You can see the line to ride a train reaches far, but
don't worry there is never a long wait and plenty to look at while waiting. |
