It appears that Dave gets faster delivery than I do as mine didn't arrive in yesterday's mail. Will have to wait until Monday evening to look at the...
Hi Gang, ... That's still a problem. When the crop is ready, you've got to harvest it or risk loosing it. ... The biological term for the transformation to...
Dave and group, The man facing the camera is Gerry Craig, one of the best engineers that the CSP had in later years. I will still have to look at my derailment...
Greetings all. Can anyone supply a photograph of bridge number 48 on the 2nd sub-division of the CSP? I wish to model this particular bridge and need details...
Probably Stockney Creek or Meadow Creek. Those are the two REALLY big bridges between Ferdinand and Cottonwood. Matt ... need ... 5 & 6 ... 100' ... anyone...
Phil, I have a photo of a train on Bridge 48 that shows the entire bridge. I'll scan and post it soon. The other big trestle in this area is Bridge 46, which...
Thank you for the replies to date. The bridge will be compressed but I hope to catch the flavor of the scene. Looking forward to view the photo and I will...
Greetings Jim, I have just looked at the photos. Many thanks. Certainly the scenery around bridge 48 was not what I hoped. In the foreground of bridge 48 I ...
I have been doing some research for lecture that I did on some Colorado railroads. I was using a book by Kenneth Jessen "Railroads of Northern Colorado"....
... Sounds like the Denver Laramie & Pacific Railroad might have been following one of the projected routes for the Chicago & Northwestern west of Lander...
I was working from memory when I wrote about the Denver, Laramie and Pacific. The proper name is Denver, Laramie and Northwestern. Forgive a seventy year old...
Hi, Dan! 'Tis my good fortune to live in Boulder County, Colorado! Be happy to answer any of your questions. Regarding the DL&P, University of Colorado...
Hi Phil, ... The area around Bridge 48 is certainly, well, agricultural I guess might be the best word. ... Can you share a trackplan with me/us? Even a rough...
One more thing... ... I believe that the creeks that pass under the bridges in question are seasonal, or what locals call "wet weather cricks." The creeks...
Jim, many thanks for the information regarding bridge 48 and the surrounding countryside. I am looking very hard at this bridge and incorporating the same. I...
I copied this from the Northwest Railfan Yahoo group. Some of you locals may want to take in this ride. Several of us PNW Ducati owners had a rally at Joseph...
I tried the link in the copied message, but got a link to index.museum, which went nowhere as far as the Joseph/Elgin trip. A trip to Google land got me this...
The link gets you to the museum's website. Once you are there, scoll through website until you find their trip schudule for 2004. It is listed there. . Ole Dan...
Interesting, it sounds like they are going to actually get somewhere with these trains. I have a friend who rode - I guess a trial version - last fall and...
The highway follows the tracks for much of the distance between Elgin and Enterprise, but during my motorcycle trip to the Wallowa area last fall, I didn't see...
Bill, The tracks are still in at Joseph, some of the mill spurs were removed when the Boise Cascade mill was dismantled. The yard area is to the right of...
The tracks between Elgin and Minan are away from the highway. In traveling that section of track there is very few roads that make it all of the way to the...
Matt, As far as I can tell, they used GS gons. There's a John Henderson photo or two on Chris Atkin's website somewhere showing some NP and UP gons. The...
Hi gang, I am sorry that due to company poilcy I had to be somewhat mute the last few weeks. If you will go to watcocompanies.com and click on railroads, then...
Living out of the area, I hadn't seen it mapped quite like this before. Never quite realized what a logical regional system could be made from combining...

It appears the Camas Prairie Railroad or RailNet will become a forgotten railroad once the Kansas boys take over. My biggest fear at this point is that they...
