🚂 Clubhouse Workday Planned 🚂
The final push to finish our clubhouse and workshop is officially underway — and this is where you come in! The final push to finish our clubhouse and workshop is officially underway — and this is where you come in! On Saturday, May 30th from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. we will be at the site working on the containers.
We’re launching a series of every‑other‑weekend workdays, giving everyone plenty of chances to jump in, lend a hand, learn something new, and be part of the team that brings this project across the finish line. This is one of the biggest upgrades in our club’s history, and we want as many members as possible to be part of it.
Whether you swing a hammer, paint a wall, move materials, or simply bring good energy — your help matters. Every workday gets us one step closer to celebrating a fully finished clubhouse and workshop at our October Fall Meet… and yes, we’re aiming to have it done this year 😉
Come out, get involved, make memories, and help build something the whole club will enjoy for years to come.
Let’s do this — together.

The team spent the day working on the track leading up to the clubhouse while also making repairs to container two. The repair work included rebuilding part of the rear floor structure and installing a new exterior support beam to strengthen the container for years to come.
A huge thank you goes out to everyone who volunteered their time and effort. Every workday brings us one step closer to improving and preserving the railroad for everyone to enjoy.
Our next workday will be in two weeks, and we would love to see even more members and volunteers come out to lend a hand. Whether you can help for a few hours or the entire day, every bit of support makes a difference — and it’s always a great time working together with fellow railroad enthusiasts.
Come join us, get involved, and help keep the momentum going!

From the sound of steam engines working the rails to the sight of families packed on passenger cars with smiles from ear to ear, the entire property was alive with railroad excitement. Guests enjoyed riding behind a fantastic lineup of locomotives while taking in the sights of boxcars, cabooses, and classic rolling stock throughout the railroad.
Days like this are what make the hobby so special — sharing the magic of railroading with the community and creating memories for kids and adults alike. A huge thank you goes out to all of our volunteers, crews, and visitors who helped make the day such a tremendous success.
We can’t wait to do it all again at the next run day. All aboard! 🚂

2026 Workday Recaps for January and beyond
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.
