Wow! Sounds like you almost need earplugs! Who knew those little eggliners would have enough power to tow anything! Cool.

[ngauger]

Yeah - I hardly ever run all 3 together... There is no ballast, so the suspended wood acts like a speaker

But it's not "too loud" plus - it's trains!! LOL it's a nice sound :mrgreen:

[ngauger]

Got a few more things finished on my "To-Do" list

Trolley is now running on it's never ending (I hope) back & forth newly installed track Here - the Eggliner passes as the trolley stops.

Carolton junction is finished.. Just details to do as always:

I re-did the missile Launch site and gave it a bit more local history

A little known history of the JGBSMF&W RR (MFWRR) was that; during WWII it played an important, albeit minor role, in the United States defense. Located in the mountains of Northwestern PA, the railroad was used for a time by the 99th Division of the U.S. Army. At the time it was a logging and mining railroad.

Newly de-classified C.I.A. items show; that on a non-descript war logbook on page 345 of 1603 – paragraph 4 states:

The MFWRR will be used for storage of SR-GTA and SR-GTG Missiles for the intended defense of the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway region of the Northern United States.

Interpretation of the acronyms reveals Short Range Ground-to-Air and SR Air-to-Air missiles were stored there… The Missiles have all been disarmed and have been Abandoned In Place (AIP).

They also left a single Mobile Missile Launch Rail Vehicle (MMLRV) that still contains a missile (Disarmed) in the ready to launch configuration. Most definitely an item for historians to visit and review.

The area has been cleared as being safe and secure, and therefore we will not be moving any of the AIP items. However we are extending the lead in track right of way to compensate. Pictures attached for your review.
