More work - but we're having fun!

Above, it's mid-October, and Terry is applying his artistic touch to the scenery.

Below, at the same time, Richard Bartlett, Ray Byer and Charlie Aselin discuss something that must be important.

Union Station

Above, by mid-November most of Union Station's trackwork is in place.

Work slowed down somewhat with the approach of the holidays and the clean-up for the annual open house,
which took place on Dec. 4-5 in conjunction with the San Jacinto Model Railroad Club Fall Layout Tour.

This gave some opportunities for railfanning along the BC&G. Enjoy!
