Train Rides Sunday  With the completion of the train shed, we were able to offer weekly train operations in 2013. Valley Building Supplies donated the material for the shed; the Spreeuw cousins shown here with Doug Lott, the lead member on the shed project, and Hans Maurer on the train.

A typical Sunday saw over 100 riders on the train in the two hour opening.

 Fall Fair

Our third "Fall Fair Run" featured two visiting steam trains that carried the main load of passengers during the two days, noon to five pm Saturday and Sunday September 21 and 22.

Fall Fair Saturday was a beautiful fall day, contrary to the forecast.

Sunday was rainy early, but cleared up nicely for mid afternoon.

 BCSME Vice-president Kent and Linda Cavaghan; Secretary Gerry Wittenberg; and Communications Manager Joe Holman of the BC Society of Model Engineers, (operators of the Burnaby Central Railway), attended the fall fair. They brought their model Canadian Pacific Jubilee 2930 coal-burning "Live" Steam Train with two 8' ride cars. Thanks, Burnaby!! Check out BCSME newsletters here

 In addition, the Ian and Phil MacGregor of the Burnaby club brought their Climax locomotive, which is the same make as the train in our logo.

 Saturday we used the Jubilee and our 0-6-0 to haul most of the 500+ passengers; on Sunday the Climax and Jubilee carried most of the 200+ passengers

 Many thanks to all the members of our Railroad Section, who spent many hours making the operation possible.
We welcome new members, so pass the work along and join us if you'd like to get in on the fun.
