Train Fest was held at Bitter Creek Western Railroad yesterday. This is a fundraiser for the San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum. I did stationmaster duty (that’s me in the all-black suit with conductors hat standing by the train) all day so got no photos myself. But, Bill Rust and John LeBeck have already sent me some and they’re posted: http://www.bcwrr.org/101107.html

The 2010 Central Coast Railroad Festival is complete. Hard to believe 5 days have passed since the whirlwind of railroading activities began last Thursday. If you’re looking for photos from the weekend, your best bet is the Photo Index page: http://ccrrf.com/photo-index.html

The Central Coast Railroad Festival (CCRRF) is well under way now. We’ve already posted photos from four locations Thursday (yesterday): Darrell Nash’s Sn3 layout, Pomar Junction Winery, Central Coast Trains, and Grover Beach’s Celebration of the Beautification project at the end of Grand Avenue between 4th and the railroad tracks. To watch for new postings, follow the CCRRF What’s New page: http://ccrrf.com/whatsnew.html
