Thanks for posting those pics. I read up on what info I could find on J Neils Lumber, and watched a couple of youtube videos on Shay #5. That is one impressive beast!!

A balloon ride over a belching steam engine would be an interesting experience. :lol:

Awesome shots, Santa Fe! I love those Warbonnets. 💯 It looks like the Genesee & Wyoming has a B&P logo, what's that? Thanks!

Santa Fe, RR
Love your Independence Day posts. I think I remember seeing a Red White and Blue locomotive in 1976. I was 13, I can’t remember much more. Think we went to the town over Crystal Lake to see it.

A spectacular Spectacular, John, cool video. Now I am hungry for a Butter Burger!

You probably don't have Culver's out there, but selected Culver's restaurants have model trains running on a track up near the ceiling. As I watched your video, the elevated portion of your track reminded me of watching the train at a nearby Culver's, and I now have a craving for a Butter Burger and some curds!
