October Superintendent Message

There’s so much more to this hobby than just “building trains in your basement!” This month’s selfie is a 2-in-1. I took one when we started running trains at the Fall Festival in Saratoga Springs at Shay Park, then another on 25 one of the last runs of the night. […]

New Year – New Update

My plan is post the Superintendent’s article from the Promontory Point newsletter as a separate post here so we can have more (and updated) content on the homepage. If there is something else you would like to see added to the website let me know. There’s so much more to […]
