In the summer of 2025, the end of track had reached the front yard at the north side of the house. Even before the north siding had been completed, the WTC shipped four logs, testing the capacity of WTC1 on the 7% westbound ruling grade. One flat car was used in addition to the three skeleton cars, showing proof of concept that the WTC could provide rail service for firewood delivery, a primary industry on the line.
Here is the train at the firewood loading spur, with logs already chained down, ready for the journey.
Here it crosses the path entering west siding.
Leaving west siding, and beginning the long 7% grade.
The track runs along an elevated roadbed at the edge of the driveway.
Now crossing the driveway on the removable bridge.
Arriving at the current end of track, ready to be unloaded.
Heading home, back downhill.
