Building a Backyard Railroad -- page 16
October 24th

I had to go to Texas for a week. It sure is nice to be home.



Now the west end finally fits the west bend.



Approaching the new bridge.



And the Timson Creek Trestle now has rails.
-
Prevalent vegitation in this area is Equisetum Hyemale (or horsetails)
as seen on the right of  this photo. It is a native plant that can be
found in any of the United States. Early americans called them "scouring
rushes" because of its silica content and subsequent abrasive qualities.



The line makes a nice curve on the west end.



And heads up the valley by the west fork.



Continuing south along the rock wall.



Looking back down the grade.



A nice fall view from near the radius center.



Railroad? Where? What railroad?
