Fall Progress Update: Big Steps Forward on the Workshop & Clubhouse
As the weather cools and the holiday season approaches, progress around the railroad continues full steam ahead. This past Thursday, a dedicated crew headed out to the site to accomplish two major tasks: flipping Container #2 into its new orientation and installing a concrete footing between Containers #1 and #2. These steps are key milestones as we move toward building out our future workshop and clubhouse space.
As the weather cools and the holiday season approaches, progress around the railroad continues full steam ahead. This past Thursday, a dedicated crew headed out to the site to accomplish two major tasks: flipping Container #2 into its new orientation and installing a concrete footing between Containers #1 and #2. These steps are key milestones as we move toward building out our future workshop and clubhouse space.
A huge thank-you goes out to Gene, Calvin, Wes, Norm, and the team from ECI for their heavy lifting—literally. Their equipment and expertise made it possible to reposition the container safely and get everything set back in place.
With this phase complete, the updated plan is to orient all three containers with their doors facing forward. This will give us three solid back walls to work with as we create a unified interior space. We are currently working to secure a third container, which will allow us to start connecting the structures together and eventually install a roof over the entire footprint.
Looking ahead, our winter goals include sealing the gaps between the containers, cutting out the inner walls, and opening up the interior. Once that stage begins, we’ll be announcing official workshop and clubhouse workdays—so keep an eye out for those updates as we roll into the New Year.
Exciting things are happening, and we’re grateful for everyone who continues to jump in and help move the railroad forward!
🌲 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.

A Wonderful Fall Meet Weekend at the Railroad
This past weekend was another exciting and memorable time around the railroad as we hosted our annual Fall Meet. The event brought together a fantastic mix of familiar faces and first-time visitors, all eager to share in the fun and energy that make this tradition so special.
This past weekend was another exciting and memorable time around the railroad as we hosted our annual Fall Meet. The event brought together a fantastic mix of familiar faces and first-time visitors, all eager to share in the fun and energy that make this tradition so special.
From the moment the first whistle blew, the railroad truly came alive. Throughout the weekend, nearly a dozen trains could be seen running at any given time, filling the air with the sound of steam, laughter, and good company. Whether it was watching the trains glide along the track or catching up with friends trackside, there was something for everyone to enjoy.
Saturday was a highlight, as always, with our annual cookout. The food spread seemed endless—enough to feed an army—and no one went home hungry. It was the perfect opportunity for members and guests to gather, share stories, and celebrate another successful year together.
A very special thank you goes out to the dedicated members who spent Wednesday through Sunday morning helping set up, standing guard, and making sure everything ran smoothly. Your time around the campfire, keeping everyone entertained and the railroad safe, truly made the event shine.
We’re grateful to everyone who joined us this year and helped keep this tradition alive. If you couldn’t make it, we hope to see you at our next event. Until then, happy railroading!

Steam Engine Inspection Day for Saturday, September 13, 2025
On Saturday, September 13, 2025, our steam engines underwent their annual inspection. Each year, these locomotives are carefully checked with a hydro test and a detailed boiler inspection. The process involves filling the boilers with water and applying pressure to confirm that the tubes are tight and leak-free. While straightforward, this test is essential to ensuring that our engines remain safe, reliable, and ready for operation.
