Branch Line

The Brachline that winds up along some smaller suburbs of Nelson has been closed off as the RDC1 made its final trip down the scenic line. Upkeep on the branch has become too costly to maintain, and the PGS has decided to discontinue service on it at this time. The RDC1 has been reassigned to commuter service between Nelson and Great Falls (a new addition to the PGS) which will become a new mainline service once the PGS recieves its pair of coaches and railway post car from CN in April.

Steam tests on 6022 have not gone according to plan. The u1f has been showing boiler leaks, and there was vandalism to the hand rails this weekend. It may become to costly to repair for the PGS at this time, but they will be keeping in their fleet until they can invest into it. As the pride and joy of the line, the PGS will put their effort into restoring it for passenger service ASAP.

CN has made arrangements to ship another u1f locomotive from their Vancouver yard to the PGS in May. A Mikado has also been acquired which will hopefuly arrive in time for the first major passenger service on the line. Fright service is currently on hold.
