On the first of April, road mileage was sufficient to open temporary service. We were doing fine until the temporary trackage sagged at Cedar Curve, derailing the line's only locomotive. Thankfully no injuries and the loco un-damaged.
A "contractor's" loco was obtained in early April, as it was clear that even the big FA diesel was a bit too much of a handful for our less-than-permanent way. A Porter 0-4-0 Tank loco showed up and was immediately put to work hauling solder, paste, brushes and ballast as the trackwork was improved. It soon became clear that this loco had insufficient range (and no sound) so a tender (with sound) was added and the locomotive modified by the removal of the water tanks.
