Beautiful craftsmanship!

Happy Saturday! Progress continues slowly, but here is a shot from the workbench this morning. Is anyone else doing any modeling? Michael Starkey

Jim, I'm going to be busy with some other non-railroad projects during the next few weeks (the re-enactment season is gearing up). I have plans to post more SN stuff from my own collection soon. Yours

Hi Garth, Thanks very much for ferreting out all of these early NE photos. Cool stuff! Cheers, James

Friends, Attached is the last of my scavenging expedition. The photo from the Electric Railway Journal shows NE combine 100 in as-built condition, complete with PE-style pneumatic trolley bases and

Good friends, Tonight I am posting a photo of *Ramon*. This photo is on page 308 of Demoro's SACRAMENTO NORTHERN where he states this is circa 1920. Actually, the version attached is from *Railway

Friends, This morning I am offering two more photos from the Electric Railway Journal circa 1909, both showing the 3rd rail. The first shows right-of-way at an unnamed location. From the scenery, I

Friends, Today's photo shows the Northern Electric's East Nicolaus substation. This concrete building was completed in 1908. In the photo there are no lines connected to the insulator banks, plus

Bill, A long shot, yes, though good call. But why? I noticed something interesting in examining the maps and timetables in Swett's SACRAMENTO NORTHERN. The map on page [5] shows the Northern Electric

Wild shot in the dark... Tierra? Buena? For the shelter. ~Bill

Friends, Today I have two photos of unidentified Northern Electric depots from the Electric Railway Journal. The first is a typical open waiting shed. The design is similar to the shed at Bilman

Friends, Today's offering is a shot of motor 1000 (could just as easily be 1001) and a pile driver photographed near Marysville in 1907. At least that is what Demoro said on page 26 of his book. My

Friends, Attached is a photo of the Woodland depot I've never seen before, from Street Railway Review and taken around 1912. If so, the depot was brand new, as that was the year it was built.

Justin, I'm a bit fuzzy on this, but I believe the River Lines terminal was taken down in the 1960s. By then it was a sagging eyesore. The passenger boats ended service in 1940. I suspect that River

Jim, I played around a bit with the contrast and luminance sharpening on the River Lines photo, and concluded that there were indeed more than two spots here. At the middle left you can see two

After getting everything open it was all great material! Sometime it would be interesting to see when that building was taken down, before or after 1952 which is a good year to have the ferry as well

Jim, I have some views of motors at the 2nd & M service facility from Will Whittaker and Ken Jenkins, but no shots of the facility itself. I agree it has not been well documented, or at least the

Hi Garth, Thanks for posting these interesting photos as well as the link to a number of other cool shots of the waterfront (e.g., the attached showing the full length of the River Lines facility [I

Wow. It’s too bad this wasn’t a PDF or something. ?for some reason I couldn’t open the picture of the track plan.

Good friends, Attached is a drawing I found online yesterday showing how the track was arranged at the Tower Bridge in Sacramento. This appears to be a proposal, so some details may be missing, but it
