Dad and I rode the Southwest Chief and the California Zephyr from KC to Emeryville, CA. There’s a little contest on the story/photos page, for railroaders and railfans, that involves identifying a type of railcar… All the photos are here: http://www.jf2.com/pbjrr/100705.html

Jamie and Lynn enjoyed a Father’s Day of riding the rails down to Santa Barbara, back to SLO, back to SB, and finally back to SLO. The “main event” was a deadhead trip on the Overland Trail from SB to SLO. Photos are here: http://www.jf2.com/100620/. The picture below is of the Gaviota trestle as seen from onboard the Overland Trail.

Felling a Tree at the BCWRR

The big project at the Bitter Creek Western Railroad today was the felling of a rather large and rather dead pine tree: http://www.bcwrr.org/100522.html. (The web site is up and running properly again now.)

All Aboard!
The rails of a railroad track are kept shiny on the top by the regular passage of trains. Thus, "To Shiny Rails" is the battle cry of my personal effort to keep railroading activities of all kinds available to as many people as possible. It's tantamount to exclaiming "Keep those trains a rollin'!". And with any luck at all, I'll personally be on as many of those trains as possible! To shiny rails, Jamie
