We Visit the Meadows & Lake Kathleen Railroad

On Friday, April 27, my brother-in-law and I visited the Meadows & Lake Kathleen Railroad about 65 miles from home. The owner, Ray Robinson, is a great guy and a wonderful host. He took us for a ride by 'streetcar' over the railroad's line. Afterward, we walked the tracks and shot pictures. It was a wonderful place. Here is his website - http://www.peak.org/~kmr3/M&LKRailroad/

The M&LK RR is a private RR, but occasionally the owner gives rides to folks who contact him on his web site and have a genuine interest in the railroad. Anyone who loves railroading would find the ML&K a real treat.

Kathy and Ray have spent years creating this little slice of heaven. I've been lucky enough to see it from the start and every year when my husband and our boys go I'm amazed even more. Ray has such vision! I'm more than happy to travel the 5 to 6 hours it takes us now to get there, not just to see our family (Kathy is my Mother-in-law) but to see what they've added.

Ray and Kathleen Robinson are terrific people who allow groups like our model railroad club to visit their piece of paradise each August. It is in a beautiful setting, the railroad is progressing on a steady basis, and Ray and Katy are so giving of themselves and the rr they like to share with everyone. They are great ambassadors for model railroading and the envirornment.

Great shots. Did you happen to get an outside shot of the street car?

I saw all about this guy on PBS......and he takes you on the ride with him. Nice. I would like to take the kids here sometime. Didn't know that you could do that.
