The Big River Railroad first began in 1987, when I lived in Mendocino, California, with a circle around my shop and the beginning of the rolling stock. In 1995, I moved everything to San Diego, California, and continued to build more track and rolling stock. In 2006, we moved to Port Townsend, Washington, and the Big River was scrapped, and sold to friends. Most of the information on this site is from the time in San Diego.
