| The town of "Subirdia." Look close - they are all bird houses. Currently there is only one resident. | Watch where you step in the town of "High Tide." |
|
|
|
| Plenty of traffic at the depot in the town of "Stretch." Why Stretch? Because it is a stretch to call it a town. | An un-named town on the pike. Any ideas?? |
|

|
| Walter's show car from the 2008 High Wheeler train show. Walter is the show manager. | The Superintendent takes a well needed breather after preparation for the open house. |

|
| An aerial view of "Stretch." | The work train stands ready for any necessary rail maintenance. |

|
| Walter's sweet pea bush kept over taking the trackage. Solution: a "pea shed." | A short freight travels the freight line. |
|
|
|
| The freight crosses one of several bridges on the railroad. | Notice the "Block" signals at the interchange. Get it?? Block........ Signals......... Ugh!! |
