Finally a break in the weather

[Shawn]

Today made the 11th day in a row of rain. By afternoon the sun came out and dried up the line finally. The crew got a chance to take out the Rogers that has been sitting in the shops for the last year. They added a coal bunker to the back and fixed the front springs. It ran great on the line. The crew got the new 2-6-0 Indie out with some flats.

The new Indie on the Cumberland Gorge. It sure got weathered from all that rain in the last 1.5 weeks.

Coming out of Red Rock .

Picking up some log cars from the camp

The guys found a reliable spring coming out of the ledges above camp. They put in a new water tower for the engines and for around camp.

Mr. Russell got some new horses and is doing well these days making his moon shine.

Great atmosphere, Shawn. Mother Nature's certainly perked up your scenery during the last 10 days. Like the Rogers - just wish I had the length of track to run something similar.

Thanks guys.
Giles the Rogers is not much bigger then a porter if you add a coal bunker to the back. Its a neat engine. Ill try to post a picture of the rogers next to a saddletank porter.
