Day 17

Wednesday, January 18, 2017

I was down by the River today after dropping Toots at home after her school got out, and while there wasn’t much in the way of waterfowl, I did find this herd of deer on the new industrial spur, a couple hundred feet north of the railroad crossing signals. This is a three photo panorama, […]

Day 366

Sunday, January 1, 2017

The last light of 2016. From the 1911 railroad tunnel between Belt and Great Falls. A well traveled door. Some people are saying they are glad it is over. It wasn’t too bad, if you ask me.  It is ending better than it started, anyway! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 342

Sunday, December 11, 2016

A week or two ago, while it was still sunny, they put new crossing lights on the railroad crossing for the new industrial spur.  It looks like it could be waiting on crossing barrier/arms, too.  I have yet to see any train on it, beyond a couple of gandy dancer cars working on the track. […]

Back from Virginia City! The general merchandise shop.  A three photo panorama. Hmmm… Local flora. *** Returning to the Station, we waited for the train. We backed through the Wye on the Virginia City end of the line.  You can see the tail end of the Wye on the left near the log cabin. A three […]

Day 262

Friday, September 30, 2016

More Nevada City! After lunch we took the Alder Gulch Short Line to Virginia City, the County Seat.  This is a two photo panorama.  The track is a lot straighter than it appears!  This is where we later photographed the Milky Way from. The happy crew, ready to roll. Some of those cars to the […]
