The track length is up to around 1200' now.  The east line to the south end of the property is in and runnable.  I rented a tractor with a backhoe and a loader bucket last weekend.  Got the ramp fills for the bridge built up, and the south yard area leveled.

The east bridge is now in.  I built it from an old mobile home frame.


Today cam the addition of a crane.  It's not built to scale, or as a model of any crane. It's built from junque(good junk) and is to save my poor ole trashed back.



It still has a ways to go before it's finished, but at least now I can move the generator, the welding machine, the oxy/act bottles, and other heavy stuff around the railroad with out risking crippling myself. lol

I had two, hundred and fifty pound men hanging off the boom today.  It didn't seem to strain anything, so I figure it should lift up to at least 400 lbs.  That should cover anything I need to lift on the railroad.

It's back to work Sunday morning, so, it looks like additions to the railroad will be put on hold for at least a few days.

Till next time....
