One of my sources tells me that today there was a bee-hive of activity at the engine-house, the lifted rail was back in place and the lights were on in the depot. Also a large dumpster just outside the depot (Dumpsters can be good and really bad news). It appears action to prepare the tracks etc. to move the former McCloud River Railroad Steamer #19 to begin its journey to Ohio is underway. It is still way to wet to prepare the track to Montague for use though. Last I knew the idea was to tow the 19 to Montague for placement on a flatcar for its trip.
BTW, when you abbreviate the McCloud as MCRRR, that's not an extra R! :)
Well, in it's last name it would be, but in my heart it will always be MCRRR.
