The economy along the Bear Creek and South Jackson right of way has been in the doldrums for more than a year now. Leading economists feel certain the reason is the railroad hasn't been running any revenue trains.

But now the trackage in Redland is completed and with the recently held op session revenue trains should become a regular thing. The local citizenry although grumpy appears ready to forgive the railroad for taking so long to get things running again.

I hope you enjoy this construction update.
