In reply to Bryan. Awesome! What a sweetheart and we really enjoyed that he stopped by (expect for the skunk smell part) and made the night all the more special. Eight clicks? That's a fair distance to travel.

We enjoyed your blog, we live 8km from Meeting Creek,( Stinky Dog ) is our dog. His name is Duke and he loves to go to town, I guess life on the farm is too boring.

oh I love, love LOVE, seeing pictures of this place. While some railway museums dedicate one room to an aspect of the community, I love how Meeting Creek shows the living room and kitchen, waiting room and office as it would be. So easy to walk and imagine, or pour over the photos from my laptop. Thanks for posting!

In reply to Glo. Not many people know it, but the Meeting Creek valley was home to a good number of small scale coal mines. The biggest concentration was in the Donalda area but there were others.

My father used to talk about the steam bath in Meeting Creek. The coal miners used it.

In reply to Eric May. Those little railcars could fly down the track, even lines with light rail like we see here. Zoom! Thanks for commenting!

The Liner 55 sign beside the tracks was probably for the rail diesel cars that would have replaced regular passenger trains. due to their light weight they usually had a higher speed limit.
