It is with sad tidings that I report the passing of Grant Kern of Soulsbyville, CA (near Tuolumne). He regularly monitored this and other forums and had a...

Well, the immediate area around the operation IS 'white', so I would assume that there is a certain amount of 'blowing around' that happens. DaveL....aka K6WPR...
Dave, I have added three pics to your folder of Perez's reloading operation. These are some that I took when I got there just after 5PM on 1/26/07 -- I have...
Hi Craig & all Fellow members. Love your photos of the recent operations. Would make a great "HO" railroad module. I recently joined your group & really enjoy...
My guess is that they are just using it for the rear marker. Granted, I don't know the rules and regulations but since they only have one train which operates...
According to the regulations, the grade over Ambrose towards Alturas requires the use of a manned caboose or two-way FRED capability. I suspect the 700 has...

It's been awhile since I've had a chance to go chase a train. I caught one today being made up in Tule Lake yard for a run to Tuber. The 1011 and 01480 were...
