| Track construction is mostly complete,
but the rest of the project will never
be finished. I am concentrating my efforts now on details to the towns,
adding more buildings for realism. I enjoy the construction of buildings and
structures more than actually operating the trains.

Because our backyard is bordered by open desert, my railroad
has occasional
wildlife visitors. Our milkman disappeared and his cast-iron milk-truck was
dragged through Mule Ear and overturned by our back wall, evidently by
a kidnapper who was unable to lift the truck. The main suspect is a packrat.
A mound of dirt that appeared overnight near the Indian village yielded a
half-eaten rabbit, probably buried by a coyote. I removed the carcass and
refilled the hole with dirt, only to find it dug up again the next morning!
Other wildlife visiting our railroad have included a doe and her fawn eating
petunias, a bobcat and snakes drinking from our pond, and birds building
nests in the tunnel.
