Operating sessions are continuing on (the late) Tom Enloe’s Pacific Northwestern Railroad and Cherry Valley Railroad (located in Duvall, Washington), although our remaining time to take advantage of the layout is limited. Carol Enloe will be placing the property on the real estate market in late August or early September.

As a result, we will have an Ops Session on the second Saturday in September, the 10th. This is of course subject to an early sale and closing on the property. Doors will open at 10 AM, we will try and start the clock at 11 AM. Beyond that, operations will tentatively continue on a month to month basis, subject to the sale of the property and the closing of the sale. Please be aware that any given Ops Session on the layout could become the last, with very short notice. Come on out and enjoy the layout one, two, or a few more times – Tom would have wanted that!

There are work sessions (repair, troubleshooting, etc) scheduled for the next three Wednesday afternoons (Aug 10th, 17th, 24th) and Saturdays (Aug 13th, 20th, 27th), and we always need and appreciate the help.

Please contact me at Steve.Haas@comcast.net or text me at 206-979-5287 to be placed on the e-mail list for upcoming operating sessions or Saturday work sessions or Don Trettel at tretteld@comcast.net or 425-765-2879 for upcoming Wednesday work sessions. Attendance at work sessions has been exceedingly thin, so both Don and I reserve the right to unilaterally cancel a work session if we haven’t heard from folks wishing to work that session.
