🚧 Another Great Workday is Planned — Come Join Us! 🔨
Join us on Saturday, July 25th, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. as we head back to the site for another exciting day of progress on our clubhouse and workshop project!
This workday will be split between two projects:
🔹 Repairing the grandma line following the recent storm damage
🔹 Building the ceiling framing inside Container #2
This workday is part of our ongoing every-other-weekend volunteer workdays focused on moving the clubhouse and workshop project forward while also repairing sections of the railroad impacted by the recent storm. With several projects happening at once, there are plenty of opportunities for members of all skill levels to jump in and help.

🐐 We could also use a few volunteers to help our "goats" keep the grass under control! If you'd rather spend some time behind a mower or string trimmer than swing a hammer, we've got a job for you too.
Whether you're swinging a hammer, moving materials, measuring, mowing grass, or just bringing a positive attitude, there's a job for everyone. Every workday helps move us one step closer to enjoying our new clubhouse, workshop, and railroad together.
Come out, get involved, make some memories, and help build something the whole club will enjoy for years to come.
We can't wait to see you there!

🚨 Storm Damage Cleanup Update – We Need Your Help! 🚨
After further assessment of the railroad following the recent storms, we've discovered the damage is even more extensive than originally thought.
Multiple trees ranging from 12 inches to more than 40 inches in diameter have fallen across the railroad. Several sections of track remain completely blocked, and some of the largest trees will require significant effort and equipment to remove safely.
As crews have begun evaluating the affected areas, we've also found substantial damage to the mainline through the woods. Once the fallen trees are cleared, significant track repairs will be required before trains can safely operate on this portion of the railroad again.
The reality is that this cleanup effort is much larger than a typical workday project. Until the debris is removed and repairs are completed, progress on other railroad improvements will be delayed, and portions of the railroad will remain out of service.

The reality is that this cleanup effort is much greater than a typical workday project. Until the debris is removed and repairs are completed, progress on other railroad improvements will be delayed, and portions of the railroad will remain out of service.
We urgently need volunteers to assist with:
✅ Cutting and removing fallen trees
✅ Hauling branches, logs, and storm debris
✅ Cutting grass and clearing overgrown areas
✅ Brush removal along the right-of-way
✅ Mainline track repairs once access is restored
✅ General grounds and maintenance work
Whether you can bring a chainsaw, tractor, trailer, track tools, or simply a willingness to help, your time is needed. Many hands will make a tremendous difference in how quickly we can recover from this storm damage.
The railroad has always been built and maintained by volunteers. Right now, we need that volunteer spirit more than ever. If every member and friend of the railroad can contribute even a few hours, we can get the railroad reopened and back on track much sooner.
📅 Please make plans to attend the next workday if at all possible.
Can't make the scheduled workday? Consider organizing a small crew during the week and contacting us to coordinate a cleanup effort. There is more than enough work for multiple teams.
The sooner we can clear the trees and repair the damaged mainline, the sooner we can return our focus to operating trains and completing the many exciting projects planned for the railroad.
Thank you to everyone who has already stepped up to help. Now we need more volunteers to join the effort and help us tackle this challenge.
We Need Your Help at the Railroad
Recent storms have left us with a major cleanup challenge at the railroad. Several large trees and countless branches have come down across our tracks, sidings, and operating areas. As you can see from the photos, some sections of the railroad are completely blocked and will require significant effort to clear before we can continue improving and operating the railroad safely.
In addition to removing fallen trees and brush, we also need volunteers to help with:
✅ Cutting grass and trimming weeds throughout the property
✅ Clearing brush along the right-of-way
✅ Hauling limbs and debris to burn or disposal piles
✅ General track and grounds maintenance
Whether you can run a chainsaw, operate a tractor, swing a rake, or simply help move branches, there is a job for everyone. Even a few hours of your time can make a huge difference.
The railroad is built and maintained entirely by volunteers, and projects like this remind us how important our members and friends are. The more hands we have, the faster we can get the railroad back into shape and continue working on all of the exciting improvements planned for this year.
📅 If you can help during our next workday, please come out and join us. If you're unable to attend the scheduled workday but have time during the week, consider organizing a small crew and contacting us to arrange a cleanup session.
Together, we can get the railroad cleared, the grass cut, and keep the trains running!

🌲 A Huge Thanks — and a Call for Helping Hands!
A big shout-out to Wes for tackling a long-standing project: pruning that pesky pine tree near the Breezeway! The area already looks cleaner and safer — no more constant shower of pine needles and falling branches. Thanks, Wes, for stepping up and getting it done!
Speaking of big jobs, Wes and the crew are asking for a little extra help this Thursday, November 13th at 12:45 p.m. We’ll be rotating Shop Container #2 and pouring a small footer between Containers #1 and #2.
We have access to some heavy equipment for a short window, so timing is critical — the more hands we have, the smoother (and faster) everything will go.
If you can lend a hand, come on out! Every bit of help makes a difference and keeps the momentum going strong.

September Kicks Off a Busy Season at the Railroad
It’s hard to believe we’re already in September! This time of year always brings an extra level of excitement to our railroad and our hobby. Fall is when things really ramp up—our Fall Meet, Public Run Days, and several important projects are all on the calendar.
We’re looking forward to seeing everyone at one (or many!) of our upcoming events. To make it all possible, we’ve scheduled a few work days to get the railroad in top shape and to finish up some ongoing projects.

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone at one (or many!) of our upcoming events. To make it all possible, we’ve scheduled a few work days to get the railroad in top shape and to finish up some ongoing projects. Here’s what’s happening over the next few weeks:
Annual Boiler Inspection - The annual inspection takes place on Saturday, September 13th.
Clubhouse & Workshop Project - The roadbed for the shop track coming off the mainline needs some work, along with putting in a cinderblock wall, which has already been started. We will have a bobcat onsite to help bring in any additional material, but a lot of the dirt and roadbed work is in place, just needs to be finished before we install track panels. A right-hand switch needs to be built along with a few panels and a track receiver that will be mounted to the cinderblock wall. The plan is to work on this on Saturday, September 20th.
East Loop Drain Repair - The major repair of the east loop drain is in place, but needs some finishing work and clean up around the area to complete this project now that the concrete has had time to set and see how the runoff water is flowing through the new drains. The plan is to work on this on Saturday, September 20th.
Track Maintenance & More- We need to go around the railroad and make sure the track is in good running order for our run day, and make any necessary repairs. For those who have not been to the railroad in a few months, the “Grandma Line” is officially open and will be used during our next run day, so make sure you check it out. Work on the track is planned for both Saturday, September 20th, and Saturday, September 27th.
Storage Siding with Recharging Hook Up Track - We need to lay between 4 and 5 track panels using used rail to complete this project. This will be helpful for any of our Fall Meet visitors who need a place to plug in and recharge any element of their train. We will need some track panels built or rebuilt and installed. Work on this is planned for both Saturday, September 20th, and Saturday, September 27th.
Don’t forget that our Fall Meet is also just around the corner. In less than 40 days, the Fall meet will take place, so don’t forget to invite everyone you know in the hobby to come out and enjoy the railroad with us. The dates for this year’s meet are Thursday, October 16th through Sunday, October 19th.
