This has been such an immaculate replication that perhaps we should just never run it, and put it on display alongside the Rangely!

I agree with Mike and Alain.  Was there a flaw in their lease agreement that allowed this to happen?  What recourse do they have against the developers?  And what monetary and restorative reparations do they have a right to claim?

And if they decide to make nice, what significant concessions can they extract in return?  For example, perhaps the funding of their planned storage buildings at the end of the line?

Clearly not forgotten by many who nominated him for the Percival Award in 2020. Your memories greatly add to the record we have of Joe, and we will save them.

Thanks again Bruce.  Your involvement in the Forum and the awards committee and more are greatly appreciated as we continue to try to better understand and appreciate the memories of the early years!!

Ed, are the Newsletter archives searchable in any fashion, or does one have to look at each issue one by one to find something?

Just askin'

Bravo on the walkway -- long overdue!

Thx

The bench legs are of different lengths, and would result in a slight leaning backward of the bench seat, hence not a vertical back.  I would worry more about about backward instability.

Alna FD was perfectly positioned on the new platform to feed travelers.  They did a brisk business!  And there were lots of sit-down tables under the awning.  Hopefully it's a setup that can be repeated again, as it's a win-win for both the railroad and the community fire department.

That's terrific, so long needed!!

Can that serve as a model template for all permanent signage around the railroad? Could be scaled back in terms of timber size, but a constant projection of signage design everywhere would be a big boost to our presentation as a world-class railroad Museum!

We who are spoiled by computers can only marvel at those cursive spec sheets!  What an tedious and difficult job that must have been...

Looking great!  What colors are we going to paint then, and will they carry So African reporting marks?
