While the mainline of the Grand Valley's northern extension is in-service, not much else is. :wait:
Here, a train approaches the almost-completed station at Park Head:

Chronically short of power, helpers for the lines many steep grades come from various sources, some rather unusual...

The station at Mount Forest, the northern end of the line, is also almost finished, but there's not really any town to support it...

Caught up with WPMA-19 as it was setting out a car at Sea Side Foods.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. The large factory is actually most of the wall sections from two American Hardware kits. Making it into an industry with a covered loading dock was inspired by this photo in Reinhard's Freelance 2015-2 thread.
