And today, the 15 of May, we begin a line up of our latest encarnation of "The Line." <br /> <br />I am the owner and operator of the Norma & Micaela Railroad, N&MRR, and my line is about 45% complete. I have a collection of "Sow's Ears" as well as several Bachmanns. These pics will be designed to show the limits of Sow's Ears... <br /> <br /><center>[img]http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/200/1317/1600/poorvicscurve.jpg[/img] <br /> <br />(Above) A Sow's Ear, Locomotive No. 9, pulling more considerable Rolling Stock through Poor Vic's Curve. Poor Vic's Curve is named for our Own Vic Smith. In the story of the N&MRR the curve is named for an Engineer, Vicktor Schmitt, who went off the tracks near this area.</center> <br /> <br /> <br /><center>[img]http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/200/1317/1600/IM001726a.jpg[/img] <br /> <br />(Above) Locomotive No 9, approaches the Borracho Gultch Trestle. Also named in honour of Vic Smith's Line (of which I hope he posts some pics). It is a tresetle that bridges a segment of the line after a caliche rock fromation called Indain Point which was the site of "the Cut."</center> <br /> <br /><center>[img]http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/200/1317/320/theoldfence.jpg[/img] <br /> <br />(Above) Here is a pic of the old fence. A few months back I made a post on how long wooden structures last. In the Story, this is part of an old fence line build by the city of Two Trees, Texas to parallel the railroad. It is to be rebuilt.</center> <br /> <br /><center>[img]http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/200/1317/320/IM001727a.jpg[/img] <br /> <br />(Above) Another image of the Borracho Gultch Trestle.</center> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><center>[img]http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/200/1317/320/IM001722.jpg[/img] <br /> <br />(Above) The town of Two Trees, Texas. Its a peaceful Monday morning...soon trains will pull in to take produce to the market.</center> <br /> <br /><center>[img]http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/200/1317/1600/IM001721.jpg[/img] <br /> <br />(Above) Locomotive No 9 pulls into Two Trees, Texas on time.</center> <br /> <br /><center>[img]http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/200/1317/320/IM001743a.jpg[/img] <br /> <br />(Above) Locomotive No. 9 leaves Two Trees, Texas and makes its way toward Ian's Curve. This curve is named for our own Ian J. Brown of Aussie land. </center> <br /> <br /><center>[img]http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/200/1317/320/N%26MRR.jpg[/img] <br /> <br />(Above) The full N&MRR as it looks today. It is 45% percent done and I hope to add more track this week.</center> <br /> <br />Later today, or tomorrow, THE GARDEN FLYER will make a run.
