          |  AMC Photo Gallery  A few of our members came out today and worked on
reinstalling the ties and rails at slide one. A lot of progress was
made and for this we are very grateful for their donation of time and
energy to the railroad. We were rolling along at a good pace when a
tool problem brought it to a halt. Seems the driver that fits into the
electric jack hammer had broken a weld and would no longer stay on the
spike head. We had some mauls on site and tried them but ended up
breaking three handles. So...........enough was enough and the older
crowd was pooped anyhow and we broke up and went on our way home. The AMC
owes a debt of gratitude to all that lent a hand today. Gary Reinoehl

first official public short run was a huge success! A total of 7 motor
cars the carried a total of 29 excited, happy passengers from Hwy 104
to Sunnybrook. The day had to be cut short after the first run, after
the rain in the late morning slickened the rails making it unsafe to
make any further runs. The Amador Central Railroad's next public run
takes place on Saturday, May 13th, 2017. So come on out next month on the 13th
and take a ride on the rails. The approx. 1 hour ride costs only $10
dollars per person, ages 5 and over, and starts at Hwy 104 and goes up
to Sunnybrook, winding through the beautiful Amador County county side,
crossing the trestle over Hwy 88, and through beautiful pastures full of
local cattle and of coarse you may spot some of the local wildlife as
well. All proceeds go toward maintaining this beautiful and historic
railroad.

Other than sun minor hiccups it went very successfully. Each run takes about 1 hr for the round trip. We hope to see people out on April 8th when we do this again ! ! !
