As the summer months roll by, work also continues on at the Golden Gate Model Railroad Club. Thanks to Project Cabazon much needed repairs and upgrades have made the GGMRC a more animated and safer model railroad! Repairs include trackage on the Washoe Loop, the public highway crossing near the Fairfield Station, and yard tracks at Stockton. In addition to the repairs, the Union Station is due for a much needed overhaul and will be taking place over the next few weeks. Stay tuned for more updates and don’t forget to come see us every Saturday between 10am to 4pm. All aboard!
As the summer season begins, Americans will be taking time off their busy schedules for much needed rest and relaxation. With uncertainty in the oil and auto industries, rising fuel costs, and ever increasing traffic on both the nation’s highways and airports, railroads provide a viable alternative to travel. Learn more about how trains are friendlier to the environment and your state of mind so you can spend more time enjoying your vacation instead of stressing about it!
Each year, many lives are lost on the railroad tracks both by accidents and suicides. Operation Lifesaver works with both the railroads and nearby communities to promote awareness and safety around trains and the railroad right-of-way. The next time you’re around railroad tracks, look, listen, and live.
We’re moving into the twenty-first century at long last. The website, languishing since 2002, was in dire need of a facelift. Even more importantly, it needed the capability for club members and fellow rail fans to contribute and interact.
