September 15th- A Stairway to Heaven- Well Almost.

Post date: Sep 18, 2011 3:25:4 PM

After 5 months of not being able to climb the stairs due to arthritis, thanks to my wonderful and helpful wife, I can once again go up whenever I want.

My gift for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and all of next year has finally been installed- a stair left allowing me to once again participate in the Fun upstairs!

After a brief ceremony opening The Sue Line Cog Railway, the mainline was again full of trains,  Charles Kneipp (above) watches closely as his train enters Sue City.

Mose Crews (above) is about to begin switching at Robert's Crossing.
