A lot has happened since my last update on the OCTA OC Bridges construction project at Tustin/Rose. In my last post, the section over the train tracks hadn’t been put into place yet. I was wondering how they were going to add that section, and in October I found out! They brought in a big […]

There has been a lot of work being done on the OCTA OC Bridges construction project at Tustin/Rose since my last update. Back in June the framework for the bridge had gone up and more has been added. The section around the train tracks have still yet to be added, but the rest has been […]

This is the third year that I’ve gone to the Fullerton Railroad Days event, and this year there was something special – a 4-8-4 Baldwin Locomotive Works steam locomotive.

Due to the size of the train table (5×8) I had to get rid of my rather large desk. I’m now using a desk about half the size of my old one. But that was the requirement my wife set in order to have the train table upstairs. It’s now taking up pretty much all […]
