First goods moved to front yard

On August 15th, 2025, the very first goods train to the front yard delivered toilet paper from the basement storage area. Here we see everything loaded up ready to make the run

After descending along the east side of the shop, the train pulls into south siding.

Leaving south siding, it begins to climb the grade across the backyard.

Traveling through west siding, beginning the long grade up the edge of the driveway.

This is the west bound 7% ruling grade.

Crossing the removable bridge across the driveway.

Arriving in the front yard.

This shows the front yard loop. At the top of the photo we see the eastern switch for north siding, which is the current end of track.

After the loads have been removed, and the engine has run around, we see the train departed back downhill.

The minion work force is lashed in place for worker safety.

Retuning through west siding.

Heading up the 10% ruling west bound grade back to the storage yard.
