Happy New Year! We have survived Christmas and the heavy rains and made it to 2016! Although there was a lot of water from the storms - and a lot of flooding in Missouri - our little railroad survived without any water damage. The 2015 rebuild at Redbud was successful, as there wasn't any flooding or track washouts there like we have had in past years. The new Corkscrew Gulch turntable was high and dry, no problems at all. As with any storm, there were a few small limbs to pick up, nothing serious.
Since removing the wye last summer, the cars don't get turned once a trip like they used too. So, it is now necessary to turn them around once in a while to even out the wear. I decided New Years Day was a great time to do it, so I pulled out every car and spun them around on the Northview Turntable. After that, I coupled them all into one train and took it to Redbud and back with the Boxcab Diesel. The picture below shows the train on the mainline at Redbud.
Hope you all have a Happy New Year!
Glad to hear...that is a good looking train you got hooked up there!
