[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Train 284 Ok, it is not my railroad, but I do volunteer here a lot! The railraod is named the Orland, Newville & Pacific and is located on the Glenn Counrt Fairgrounds in Orland, CA and is open to the public. Currently we are operating a 4 wheel side rod davenport switcher. It runs on a 4 cylinder automotive engine and run through a hydrolic drive. As we currently have the diesel, we are looking into purchasing an 0-4-0 steam locomotive. The enitre railroad is built to 5" scale following the designs set out by Redwood Valley Railways founder, Erich Thompsen (www.redwoodvalleyrailway.com). We are curerently building a website. We have a temporary site, mainly just for information on the schedule (www.onprailroad.5u.com). Our e-mail is onprailroad@hotmail.com Enjoy!

After he died, the family donated all the materials to build this car in 1997, as a memorial. On either side of the sign are two removable doors, the larger one being for wheelchair access. It is very sturdy.
