As we get closer to our first public run day of the 2026 season, we’ve got some exciting news to share—our brand‑new club t‑shirts have officially arrived!

Fresh out of the boxes, this year’s design was created by one of our own, Nat Emerson, who continues to impress us as our resident artist. The shirts look fantastic, and we can’t wait for everyone to see them in person. T-Shirts can only be purchased during one of our Public Run Day Events.

Be sure to join us for our first public run day on Saturday, March 28th, from 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. It’s the perfect chance to grab a shirt, enjoy a great day on the rails, and help us kick off the 2026 season in style.

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone out at the track.

Join us Saturday, February 21 for another action-packed Ruten Tuten Workday! These workdays happen every other weekend and are a great way to roll up your sleeves, support ongoing projects, and enjoy a fun-filled day at the railroad. The morning has a few sprinkles in the forecast, but that won’t stop Tuten from making progress on a number of projects.

Whether you’re ready to lend a hand or just want to stop by and cheer on the crew, we’d love to see you there! Bring along your cordless tools, plenty of water, a packed lunch, and your best sense of humor — teamwork and laughs are always part of the job.

Before heading out, be sure to check back for any schedule updates in case of weather or project changes.

Despite the cold weather over the past few weeks, progress continues across the railroad thanks to our dedicated Routen Tuten Workday leader. While most of us have been bundled up, work on the ramp track leading to the future shop has been moving full steam ahead.

Some refinements to the original design have been made, and John is once again doing what he does best. The updated plan narrows the ramp and adds a 20-foot level section near the top, creating a stable platform to improve safety and reduce loose rock and debris. Over the past several weekends, this new design has steadily taken shape as existing blocks were carefully removed and repositioned into their new layout.

To keep this momentum going, the next phase of work will involve relocating a switch and constructing a new switch off the passenger line to support the shop ramp. Be on the lookout for an upcoming workday announcement as we prepare for this important step. As always, thank you to everyone who continues to contribute their time, effort, and expertise.

Our next club meeting of the year will be this Saturday, February 7th at 1 p.m. at the railroad. If you haven’t paid your 2026 dues Norm will be at the meeting accepting payments and if you purchased 2026 calendars those will also be available for purchase and pickup. The cost of the calendars is $18 per calendar. We also have the 2026 Public Run Day Flyers and Business cards available for you to pick up and distribute.
