    Derelict cars on siding. According to our attendant, kept mainly for using undercarriage and truck parts

    Great coverage, Rick, and thanks for posting those. I can kick myself for not riding the D&S when we visited there on a family jaunt before I became a dyed in wool steam nut.

    Could almost smell the smoke, creosote, pine and hear that stream rolling along! Thanks!

    Sweet! :cool:

    Fascinating (or frightening:eek:) how those cars tilt over toward the gorge in the first photo of the second set... good for white knuckles and brown trousers!:D

    The cars tilt and rock the entire trip! Even in town, it feels like a carnival ride. I assume it is a combination of the short wheel base, old style undercarriage, and not perfectly level roadbed.

    Wouldn't want it any other way. It's the real narrow gauge deal.
