The Bear Bones and Broke Railroad Co.
A Work in Progress
June 2001
The fence, constructed by Eagle Wings Iron Craft,
is installed. It will keep dogs and small children
out of the layout. Doesn't work for cats, though.
Another 11 tons of decomposed granite is delivered.
We hope this will be the last load.
