Dog days of summer are fast approaching
I hope everyone is doing well. It seems like the days, weeks, and months are flying by this year, and hard to understand how we are at the halfway point in the year. We have several members who have been out because of illness, while others have been traveling, and a few of us are continuing to work harder than we should. We wanted to make sure everyone is up to speed on the summer calendar, as I've had several people ask.
Here is what we have on the calendar at this point.

***Please Read*** NGLS: Public Run Day Saturday, May 17th
Let me first say Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms in our group. I am writing to everyone today to let you know that we are in need of help for our run day this coming Saturday, May 17th. Several of our normal volunteers are not able to make it to the public run day, which means we will need and we need everyone's help.

Because of the weather today, the grass didn't get cut and the railroad didn't get checked so on Wednesday, May 14th, weather permitting, Wes and David L are going out to the railroad and taking care of the grass and other items. If you are available to go out and help, please let them know.
For those that are planning on helping on Saturday please arrive by 8:30 a.m. so everything can be setup and ready to go in time. With fewer members able to help out it will take longer to get setup than normal. If you are planning on helping on Saturday please "Reply" to this email so we can get a count of how many people will be working the run day.
Thank you again, and we look forward to seeing everyone around the railroad soon.

Public Run Day Recap for Saturday, April 5th - What an incredible day
he 2025 season is in full swing and a big thank you to all our members, volunteers, and guests for making the day a success. The railroad operated three steam engines, one electric outline steam engine, and one diesel locomotive all day and our Gauge-1 railroad operated providing a great experience for all. We saw some familiar faces including some new ones who traveled from Charlotte to enjoy the day with us.
Again thank you to everyone who came out and made the day a success. We couldn’t do this without each one of you. As a not-for-profit organization, we rely on events like this and donations to operate the railroad. If you or someone you know is interested in donating please visit our donation page for more details. Look forward to seeing everyone around the railroad soon. Our next public run day is Saturday, May 17th from 1 to 4:30 p.m. but you don’t have to wait until then. If you are interested in learning more about our club and railroad visit us during one of our workdays that happen throughout the month. During our workdays, we perform routine maintenance on the railroad, work on special projects, and of course play with trains along the way.

Update on Eagle Point Railroad
Here is the latest information from Eagle Point Railroad from Wednesday, March 26th. Sounds like they are working on developing a plan and will be able to share mroe information soon.
Here is the latest information from Eagle Point Railroad from Wednesday. Sounds like they are working on developing a plan and will be able to share mroe information soon.
Last night, the CSME officers, EPRR manager, Barry Garard, and Allison Mattox-King had an online meeting to discuss the steps necessary to systematically get the railroad back operational again. There were many positive suggestions and ideas about how to achieve this goal with both time and materials in mind.
The first goal is to get the double track operational out to Saddleback which will require some work on the Stillhouse trestle along with a few short sections of track that had small amounts of ties burned and rail kinking. The second goal is to reach Cumberland, and their third goal will be to get around the swamp route leading up to the Kimble trestle. We’d like to focus our efforts on these sections of the railroad to get things operational in a timely manner.
This Saturday, March 29th, is going to be the planning day. We are not planning to start any work but rather determine what materials will be needed to achieve the first goal. This will also be a day to spend a considerable amount of time to determine exactly what repairs will be necessary to make the trestles safe to use.
After March 29th and planning is complete, we’re planning to have work days on all the Saturdays in April. If there are days other than Saturdays that you have available to help, please contact Barry Garard or me (Dale King). There have been discussions about providing food, drinks, etc. for the Saturday work days. Prior to each of the Saturday workdays, I’ll pass along what is planned for each of those days. We are planning to keep all members up to date with our overall progress.
The Spring Card Order and Spring Meet are both canceled for this year along with a visit by Troop 77. As we get closer to the month of May and the restoration continues, decisions will be made about any future events. The celebration of the railroad’s 25 anniversary which was planned for the Spring meet will be held off until the Fall meet. We are hopeful that we will get enough of the railroad up and running for the NARVRE and Knights of Columbus group visits.
While we did have some members that did lose equipment and/or buildings, we need to all remember to respect each other and not start clearing other member’s debris without their permission.

CSME / EPRR Disaster Meeting Summary for March 25, 2025
Attendees: Amanda Murphy, Steve Wassell, Dale King, Pat Collins-Mattox, Paul Boberg, Barry Garard, Allison Mattox-King
Initial Thoughts
There is no emergency to rebuild. We are at a safe place now as the fire is basically contained. Everyone is safe.
We are overwhelmed by the support from the Fredonia community, and from Live Steam Clubs.
Moving forward EPRR and CSME will work together for common goals.
All material orders need to be coordinated by CSME.
Safety
Do not enter areas of burnt buildings. Only the building owners should be in those areas unless you are asked by them for help.
As always, DO NOT WALK ON BRIDGES. Most bridges are in bad shape, and we don’t need anyone getting hurt.
No Trains on track for now. As this changes we will let you know.
EPRR is closed to all trains for the moment. When this changes, members will be notified.
A crew will be assigned to assess trees. There are some that were damaged because they were next to structures or firewood that burned so hot it has partially eaten away at the base of the trees. Some will be brought down for safety reasons.
Safety Gear: At a minimum you must wear closed toe shoes, but boots are preferred. Gloves should be worn as there are a lot of exposed nails and screws. A new waiver is being drafted that we will ask everyone to sign to ensure you are aware of the safety concerns.
Immediate Needs
On Saturday, March 29 we will be performing an assessment.
We will inventory what we have and determine what we need to start work. We will organize groups to assess areas of the railroad. We expect to have a detailed list of work by mile post.
New milepost parkers will be posted to allow for this assessment.
Building Standards
As we build back, we will be keeping our standards and will not allow for temporary work. This includes not placing wooden bents at bridges on soil. We will pour concrete footing as necessary. We will use the best-preserved wood as possible.
We will consider using steel on some bridges.
Low bridges may be replaced with culverts.
Community Help
ACCU-TIE will donate one skid of plastic ties.
Deborah Mynatt offered to supply lunches and CSME has offered to help cover costs
Randy Townsend has an offer from a group in Huntsville if we need help clearing.
Mid-South, NGLS, Illinois Live Steamers, Pennsylvania Live Steamers offering work parties with enough notice.
Plum Cove started go fund me to help with bridge rebuild and members replacing flat cars and engines.
Calendar
We will hold the Annual Meeting on April 5. Al Saturdays moving forward are to be workdays. See the online calendar.
We will revisit May activities on April 26th.
Hot Summer Nights to be goal to get to Cumberland and back
We will give weekly reports to members with progress.
We will maintain a consistently updated list in Depot as to what work needs to be done and what has been completed. This will be posted with the mile post.
NMRA convention committee to be delayed 2 months

Latest update from Eagle Point Railroad
Here is the latest update regarding the forest fire that damaged portions of Eagle Point Railroad on Sunday, March 23rd.
Here is the latest update for Monday, March 24th from Eagle Point Railroad.
Today, a few of us met up at the railroad and walked the track from the Education Center to Cumberland and along the swamp route to see the damage from the fire. It was quite amazing to see how well the track held up. In some places, there were only a handful of ties in each small section that either burned or melted (wood vs plastic). In a few of those places, there was some minor rail damage that can easily be resolved. It was very clear that the ballast along the right of way did help to shield the track from damage. A good number of the trestles survived with either some small decking fixes needed or simple stringer replacements. However, the Crowder Creek trestle was destroyed. A few of us did venture up the mountain division and did find some much more extensive damage on the Monteagle Wye trestles. Also, Barry did report that much of the Tracy City curved trestle didn’t survive. It was also noted that there was some decking damage to the PJ Wendt bridge along with Taylor Industries and the snow sheds.
One additional note is that the breakers have been turned off in the club carbarn. One of the breakers is tripping. We will hopefully be able to investigate this on Saturday.
We did record the damage locations on a map and are working to transfer this to a digital version. The club officers, EPRR manager, and Barry Garard are going to meet tomorrow night to discuss a plan for how we can get the railroad up and running again. Following tomorrow night's meeting, we’ll have more information to share.
We have received very generous offers from other live steam clubs including Midsouth Live Steamers and North Georgia Live Steamers along with some of the hobby suppliers like Plum Cove Studios that wish to help us get the railroad back into operation again once we have determined a course of action. Some of our closest live steam neighbors are ready to pitch in and help.

Eagle Point Railroad Forest Fire
On Sunday, March 23rd we received word that a forest fire had broken out near the Eagle Point Railroad in Dunlap, TN. Here is part of the email that we received:
On Sunday, March 23rd we received word that a forest fire had broken out near the Eagle Point Railroad in Dunlap, TN. Here is part of the email that we received:
Today was not a good day for the Eagle Point Railroad and Chattanooga Society of Model Engineers. We had some wind gusts along with a wild fire that started down below us. The fire ended up going up the canyon just below the railroad and continued up the ravine. While our roundhouse, shop, carbarn and depot were spared along with a few remote steel carbarns, we’ve incurred quite a lot of fire damage….
As of now, the fire has continued up the ravine and is being attended to by the local fire service along with some air drops. Larry and Diane Taylor (railroad owners) along with a member husband and wife that live just below the railroad are all safe. The following photo album contains photos of members that drove to see it from a vista point just outside of Dunlap along with photos taken by Barry Garard as he helped Larry attend to remaining hot spots.
If you would like, please share this email and photos with your membership. We’ll be assessing the damage that this fire has caused, and we’ll be formulating a plan to recover. If you have any members that might wish to help, please let us know.
We will continue to share more information as it becomes available. For those that are interested in helping please contact Robby for more details.
Workday Recap for Saturday, March 21st
We had a great turnout for our workday on Saturday. The crew took a divide and conquered approach by working on multiple projects at the same time. We had a track crew working on the Grandma Line installing a new switch off the mainline on the west end of the project. We had another group work on electrical throughout the property and so much more going on throughout the day.
We had a great turnout for our workday on Saturday. The crew took a divide and conquered approach by working on multiple projects at the same time. We had a track crew working on the Grandma Line installing a new switch off the mainline on the west end of the project. This means the Grandma Line is only 90 feet away from completion. We had another group work on electrical throughout the property and so much more going on throughout the day.
We are now just days away from the opening of the 2025 season and without our members and volunteers none of this would be possible. A thank you to everyone. As we look ahead to April we are planning on working on the clubhouse and workshop project with a focus on sealing the containers together and cutting out the inner walls before the summer heat arrives. Dates for this project will be announced soon.
Workday and Run Day Prep Day scheduled for Saturday, March 22nd
It is hard to believe that we are just days away from our first public run day of the 2025 season. Before we can open up we have a few last minute winter projects to complete around the railroad which includes installing a new switch, railroad maintenance, and equipment maintenance before we open for the season. On Saturday, March 22nd starting at 8:30 a.m. we be our next workday and our last workday before our first public run day of the season on Saturday, April 5th to prepare the railroad and property for our visitors.
If you are able to come out make sure you bring tools, knee pads, lunch, and a great sense of humor. See everyone soon.
