Nice pics Marty. The train drailing and burning is a nice touch. It reminded me of the train that stopped on an old wooden trestle. It got so hot from braking that it
burned the trestle down. I believe thats's how the story went. It has been a while since I have seen those pics. Anyway, great job on your GRR.

This is the first time the mallet has run the High Line at the north end of the RR. Because of weight restrictions on the bridge it was limited to Geeps and smaller steam engines.


New "concrete" piers were installed after the old supports showed badly needed repairs.

The shop crew dug an old caboose off the rip track to carrie supplies in , in case of problems.


Speeds will still be about 15 MPH but at less the football train can come through this spring.


The first steamer to derail and burn the old bridge is still a reminder of "Dead-mans Curve" south bound.
The curve is no longer as tight.
The bridge is about 348ft long. and appr 60ft high.
