Question For Forum Member Big Boy 4005

in a post you showed some photo's of rail workers making new switches so I did not want to take away from that thread so am asking this here.

are they only making new switches or re-adding track age removed from years past as well?  I wonder how many know the auto facility is built on the old garbage dump! only those of us that lived there in or prior to 1950's know of it.

there was a spot called h--ls canyon or so we kids called it that were in the cliff area you are modeling on current layout.  a large tree with 4 main roots hanging in mid air and we used it to keep from falling all the way down to yard lead tracks so we could watch the Burlington switchers shuffle box cars. and of course  the Twin City Zephyr's were a delight.

any news if St Paul Union Depot camera 1 will ever be live again man I miss that camera prior times seen quite a few crew changes just before switches and cross over on lift bridge. thanks for any info on this

You might want to edit your title, as it is sort of misleading. If you have a question for forum member "BIG BOY 4005", then you title should read, "Question for forum member 'BIG BOY 4005'". Otherwise many folks might think you are asking about the UP 4005, which is on display in the Forney Museum in Denver.

thank you for the heads up HOT WATER  sometimes things in ones mind sounds right while typing!

StPaul, could you add the link from the thread you are talking about?
