Day 011

Tuesday, January 12, 2016

Not too much happening down by the new railroad siding.  Everything has slowed to about a stop…because of the snow and cold? +++ +++ ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 008

Wednesday, January 6, 2016

On the hill above Rainbow Dam and Falls, the wheat fields are giving way to a new industrial park.  Here they are grading prior to laying a railroad spur for the park. These are bundles of ties laid out by the right of way. And you can’t have a railroad spur without some switches! Here […]

Day 298

Saturday, October 31, 2015

Now things are rally getting confusing!  I seemed to have mis-posted the photos from Day 296 to 298 in posts 295 to 297…so here are the photos from Day 295…and they actually are different from the Day 296s in Post 295 (I hope)…got that?  Good!  {!-{> More foggy photos! *** ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 282: The Last Day!

Saturday, October 31, 2015

I forgot to get a photo of my hotel in Red Lodge…a nice old place, but a bit pricy.  The owner told me Beartooth Pass had had snow Thursday night and they thought it was closed for the season.  I am glad it wasn’t! After determining the GPS was leading me 40 miles out of […]

Day 271: Golden Spike Part 9!

Monday, October 12, 2015

At last it was time to leave… A cart full of “Eastern” railroad ties. It is lonely looking West. It is just as lonely looking East. There weren’t nearly as many people at this “joining” as there were the first one! One last informational sign… The traditional railroad “Station” sign, complete with Elevation. And a […]

Day 270: Golden Spike Part 8!

Wednesday, October 7, 2015

More Bits & Pieces! Part 2. The other side of the engines on display…the 119… …the Jupiter. Looking West. Inside the 119’s cab. I think this is the sand dome on the Jupiter.  Engines were works of art, and the crews kept them that way! Steam comes out from all over on these things! Just […]

Day 269: Golden Spike Part 7

Tuesday, October 6, 2015

Bits & Pieces!  Part 1. There is always something to photograph on a steam engine!  It is better than Robyn’s Junk Pile!  (If the engine is making steam, anyway…) * This is a neat view of the wheels and brass… …but if you look closely at the bottom of the wheel, you will see the […]
