M&S Railroad Renovations Continue

18 August 2020

Only two weeks have transpired since our last update. Mark Goodman (Santa Maria) has been making impressive progress on the renovations of the Mark & Shelia Railroad (M&SRR). These changes are not minor adjustments in track alignment, but a complete rebuild of the long-standing garden railroad.

Below are the next in a series of updated construction images. From these images, you can clearly appreciate their vision. Excitement continues to build as Mark & Shelia reimagine their railroad and the surrounding landscape.

The renovations continue. – new fruit trees are in place while progress on the raised garden railroad layout is seen in the background (Goodman, image).
Work continues to progress on the M&SRR raised right-of-way. The mainline will be easily accessible from both sides at a comfortable height. A graceful curve is seen in the distance as the track will wrap around the gazebo (Goodman, image).
