Year 2001

Due to regular work and operating nights, great progress was achieved during 2001. The mainline was largely completed and major scenic elements were started, like Dave Montgomery's fabulous North Fork bridge. We were also notified that the layout would be on tour for the train show in April '02, accelerating activity immensely!
