Last Friday while vacationing with my wife in Bend, OR, we split company. She went to her convention and I went to do some prospecting on the south end of the...
Yes, it's true - I've been busy but I have finally gotten around to posting the pics I took back on 3/3/07 when I was invited to ride a job from Tule Lake to...
Last Thursday my wife attended the League of Oregon Cities Annual Conference in Bend, OR. When she told me the shay would be running on the COPR for this...
sorry for the restatement of some other people's questions, but i'm new here. What exactly is the MN getting for new power and what is their current roster?...
Hi Walter, At the moment, the MNRR roster has two locomotives: B23-7 #1011 and GP9 #700. We're still waiting on official word as to what the two new ...
There is now a series of photos in the Photo File that will give you a brief tour of the trackage of the Klamath Northern Railway. The presentation begins at...
Both City of Prineville GP20's were sitting out in the sun on 9/27/2007 when I chased the Mt. Emily #1 into Prineville. Both of these are sister units from...
If you haven't already seen them, Don has posted some very descriptive photos of how much work is being done along the Lake County line in the group's photo...
A hearty welcome to all who have recently joined JSS2 in recent months! Make yourselves right at home. We hope you enjoy this site and all that it offers....
Since I missed the event this year I've been waiting patiently for some MNRR pictures to be posted... anyone? :) So where's that new power? How's progress on...
Hey, The Old Man is pedaling as fast as he can! I still don't have all the photos posted from The Great Dorris Dig, which started this all. Actually, T.O.M....
I have only one halfway decent photo of the group eating chili, steak, and monitoring trains with radio equipment. You will find it in the "Foaming in the...
Guess I'll have to get my posterior into gear on this project, too. While The Photographer was busy snapping away from inside the cab, I took a whole series of...
And I got there too late to get any railroady pictures; all I had were three shots of an empty meadow and one taken at camp when Ron had to move his truck...
Well I think that should get most people's attention as they seem to be few and far between. This past Friday, 10/19, my buddy Dan Larsen and I went out to...
Beautiful shots, Kyle. Though I occasionally pass through the area I have yet to make an extended effort to take time and catch them. "Next Time." How many...
Kyle: Nice shots of the KNOR in action. Hope you can answer a couple of questions: 1. At what speed did #207 go and how did it perform with the loaded cars? ...
... It was going 10MPH (the track is really light weight) so it probably takes them an hour to get from Crescent to the Jct. From what Matt Adams (some may...
Thanks,Kyle. It didn't really occur to me before I starting looking over your photos, but #207 doesn't have ditch lights. I thought all locos which cross...
While we are on the subject of lights... I believe when they went down to the Jct. they had their class lights on. But not when they returned. I know the...
Class lights are obsolete and no longer used. There are no FRA rules on class lights. Many are removed from older locos. So if you see them on on a locomotive,...
Class lights were used to visually designate train classes in relation to other trains. While it's true that class lights are mostly obsolete and not used as...
