#3 crossing pony truss

The track was temporarily laid out on the entire loop on the evening of November 27. Engine #3 ran the whole loop for the first time in the dark. Seen here, engine #3 comes off the bridge over Lee's Mill pond hauling a load of stringers for under the track on the long trestle. Below the trestle an Asian fisherman sits in the bamboo trying to hook the giant gold fish (a scale 7 or 8 feet long) inhabiting the pond.

#3 on trestle

Engine #3 arrives to the trestle area that needs stringers to properly support the track.
