While at the MRSR Volunteer BBQ, Tom had the Engine house open, so I took the opportunity to film, here's all the Engines put together in no certain order.

This was at a Volunteer Appreciation BBQ at Tom Murrays home on American Lake. This clip is of his home, and some of the paople there. It was a really nice spread, many thanks to the MRSR and Tom Murray for such generosity.

During the MRSR Volunteer Picnic at Tom Murray's home, I walked, and filmed some of his tracks, and features, including the Trestle that faces the lake. I hear Tom say he has close to 2 miles of track. Sadly, it was too wet to take the trains out. Wet rails don;t so much for traction.

This was a great event. We happened to be there for the weekend, and my Brother & his Wife signed us up. I spent a lot of time filming mostly our Family, but did try to get the others in it as well. The race was really funny, with some of the Contestants not making it very far. There was a great Picnic lunch afterwards too. Overall, it was a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy the race as much as we did!

Southbound BNSF Hoppers at Tenino, WA. Try as I might, every train today was a short one. My son and I spent about 2 hours here today, so we didn't do to bad count wise, but train size was disappointing. But, a day train watching is better than any day at work. 9-12-08

This is a collection of all the short clips I had from this past Saturday, 9-07-08. I just put them all together. Keep in mind it was a train full of people chattering, and it was difficult to get just the railroad sounds.
