Thanks for looking. Doug  Date: 08/08/19 20:09 Re: Kodak Instamatic Moments Author: TCnR Pretty amazing stuff, the track work looks like it needs some work.
Interesting geology, still on my bucket list, hope they keep running trains in the mean time. Date: 08/09/19 03:41 Re: Kodak Instamatic Moments Author: hoggerdoug Track during the time of these images it was 60 pound rail, eventually upgraded with used 85 pound rail. Maximum speed was 20 mph. I don't know the current rail / ballast condition.
