| A train of TOFC and double-stack containers on the Black Bear and Dynamite Railroad. |

| The Black Bear and Dynamite Railroad is squeezed into a narrow side yard between a house and a fence, but demonstrates very well how much you can pack into a limited spot, including a waterfall and river, tunnels, bridges and a double-track mainline. |

| This is a reverse shot with the mountain in the foreground. This will really look great in a few years as the trees mature a bit. |

| A small rodeo scene at the Rocky Ridge Railroad. |

| I will always, always take a picture of a grain elevator. I really like this one and it provides me with some ideas for how I might construct mine once I get around to it. |

| Loading a reefer with ice is in progress at the ice house. |

| This was my favorite scene at the Rocky Ridge Railroad, a gold mine with multiple structures and great use of a really beautiful rock. This is amazing work. |

| We're now at Marvelous Matt's Mining Company which had many marvelous features including this beautiful trestle work. |
.JPEG) |
| In addition to the trains, Marvelous Matt's Mining Company feature a number of old vehicles and equipment nestled into the garden. |
.JPEG) |
| And this is, quite possibly, one of the coolest looking train sheds I've ever seen. That old Coke machine in front is used to house electrical equipment and switches for the railroad. |

| And this is a view of the access tunnel for trains into the train shed. |

| Next up is the Moss Rock Canyon Railroad which, as the name implies, features a whole lot of rock, about five tons. |

| A trestle crosses over another rail line and then goes through a bridge over a small stream on the L&D Railroad. |

| A UP locomotive leads a train across one of the bridges on the Three Bridge Garden Railroad. |

| Another view of the same train. |

| The wine train is heading down a trestle at at the Enchanted Folsom Railroad |
.JPEG) |
| The Enchanted Folsom Railroad also includes this interpretation of the Disneyland's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. |
.JPEG) |
| And I really enjoyed this modeling of the Matterhorn! Look closely at the bottom and you'll see Snow White and seven of her coworkers involved in the mining industry. |
