Model Railroading > Waiting for the Roadmaster to clear the line...Date: 12/02/14 21:27 Waiting for the Roadmaster to clear the line... Author: KeyRouteKen It is 1949 in Oakland's "Redwood Regional Park" at the new track of the Golden Gate Live Steamers.
Built with manpower and materials from the West Oakland shops of the Southern Pacific. In this particular view, a very young "KRK" keeps a tight grip on his handful of sash cord, while waiting for the train to proceed. Never could remember why I thought a handful of sash cord was so important... If I was a very well-behaved little boy that day, my Grandfather would stop at the "hot dog" truck, usually parked at Skyline Blvd & Redwood Road and get me a treat, on our way home ...

I guess there were only so many patterns on the market. AA
