railway, the Kittatinny Mountain RR (Mark I).

Discovering just how much I enjoyed the effort

to capture northeastern U.S. logging operations

was one of many takeaways. But the challenge of

hemming an expansive forest into a tiny footprint

was one lesson I’d gladly leave behind. Given that

sentiment, it made perfect sense to relocate my

home, family, and railroad a mere three miles away.

Six years later, I’m operating a bigger and better

backwoods railroad in my backyard.
