The Flood of '08

The mess following the flood of 2008 is cleaned up and operations are resuming.


The Carleton Railway's old 44-Tonner (Painted for the "Avondale Terminal Railway"--now wholly owned by the Carleton Railway) backs the work train across the Little Presqu'Isle Stream bridge just east of Waterville. The gang has lots of work to do!



Railway management prepares to leave the resort in Nortondale to inspect the damage. The railway's newest locomotive, Alco C420 #2010, is providing the power for the "Island Park" business car.

Just goes to show - diasters cna happen in 1/87 as well as 1/1 scale. Hopefully things get back to normal for you ASAP. Cheers.

Just keep telling yourself the it could have been worse. The water could have sprayed over a larger area, the volume of water could have been much greater, or your favorite loco could have been parked there.
