Several members of the PWMRC boarded the excursion train and traveled to the River Grotto Railroad, owned by Roy G. The RGRR is in the midst of a massive construction project, which will allow for a dramatic expansion. The crews are toiling with the excavation phase, with the beginning work on electrical, building, plumbing and many details. During the visit, we were treated to some of Roy's multiple award winning efforts. While the road name may change, for now it seems to fit. Looking at the photos the river is obvious, but a visit is the only way to understand the grotto. Click on any image to enlarge. |

The day begins early, with the bright morning sun washing over the dock as the foreman is the first to arrive. |

The Edgewater Bay Shipping Company is a busy place with traffic from the land to the sea and back. The narrow gauge operation fits perfectly with the highly detailed structures. |

No matter where you look, there's details...tools, pallets, people, boxes and more. The viewer is drawn into the scene...if you listen close, you can hear the waves lapping at the pilings below. |

As the river winds it's way to the sea, the enterprising mill owner uses the power to power his business. |

| When there's only one loco at the
dockside, it's always in motion. Here it's pushing an empty flatcar
into position to receive a load from the arriving ship. Check the
flatcar at right and notice the individually formed and applied side
pockets...details, details, details.

It's mid-day and most of the crew is at lunch...but the boxcar remains to be unloaded this afternoon. |
|
|
Perched on the edge of the sea, the dock and boxcar are dwarfed by the endless expanse of the sky over the sea. |

At any busy warehouse, there's always something to be done, even if you're the first one there or the last one to leave at the end of the day. |
