Station Cleaning

/ Mid-South Live Steamers/

During the last few weekends, a small project has been underway to clean Sudberry station. Over the last 16 years of service, the station platform had built up some dirt and grime. The top four images were taken at the half way point in cleaning. There is a huge difference after being cleaned with a pressure washer. There is still some minor work to be done over the next few work days. Speakers are being replaced for the public address system and paint touch-up in a few locations.

Missing Plants

/ Mid South Live Steamers/

During the rebuild of this website, I have looked at many years of photographs in a short time frame. In doing so, you can notice small details that have long been forgotten. 

Did you know from Spring 2007 until Summer 2008, there was a triangle of bushes planted between the lower and upper loop of the track? The poor plants had an encounter with the lawn mower sometime in 2008 and their placement has long been forgotten.

Dialup Internet

/

Before we all had "HI-Speed" Internet, Dialup ruled the world and getting digital images to everyone was a real challenge. Not to mention website hosters had very low data storage limits in the beginning of the internet. For a number of years, we sold Compact Discs (CDs) at the registration table and at the passenger station. The Discs had years of photos of meets and workdays. If anyone has one of the discs still, I invite you to contact us so we can determine how many survived the years and which editions still exist.
