To Shiny Rails Sponsors Photo Contest

by on Jan.23, 2023, under Amtrak, SLORRM

To Shiny Rails sponsored last year’s San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum’s first annual (hopefully) Photo Contest. Below is the 1st Place photo. The rest of the winners and honorable mentions can be seen here.

First Place
Photo by ERIC PETERSON
Taken March 20, 2022 Location: Gaviota, CA. “Put the Coast in Starlight”: Amtrak 14(20) skirts along bluffs above the Pacific Ocean. Seen in the background are the Gaviota pier, the Gaviota trestle, and the semi-green rolling hills of the Coast Range. Running along the ocean and the coastal areas, in general, gives the train its name: the Coast Starlight.

Norgrove Railway

by on Oct.30, 2022, under SLORRM

We had a great time at Norgrove Railway today. I won an auction item at the SLO Railroad Museum for a private tour of Norgrove which we managed to squeeze in while we were in California. It’s a brand-spankin’ new 600mm (just under 2′) gauge railroad being built near Highway 101 that winds through a vineyard and citrus orchard, focusing on superbly refurbished railroad equipment including a WWI trench engine. They’re working on the last 10% of the mainline which includes a bridge over a small ravine.

BSA Railroad Merit Badge

by on Oct.23, 2022, under Amtrak, SLORRM

It just so happened that we were in California when the San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum offered a class for Boy Scouts of America to get their Railroad Merit Badge. And, it just so happened that we have two grandkids who are just getting started in Scouting. Match made in heaven! Here’s a link to photos from the afternoon at the Museum: https://www.slorrm.com/221023-merit-badge.html
