Remarks & Notes

Grunting and grinding, the 1201 attains the top of "Sand Cut". On a 2.2% grade along a half mile stretch, this is where the challenge occurs on a daily basis. Pop can trees are rarely seen in these parts but are not an unknown species.

Based in Shelton, Washington, this private operation has hauled logs and lumber for its parent timber company Simpson Lumber (Timber) since 1890. Here you will be able to easily research all of my STC images on this site.

Do you ever get the feeling as a model railroader, that you just might be creating something not "prototypical?" Same here.
