from Cullen Sand and Salt on Ryan Mendell's Algonquin Railway.
Ryan's Algonquin is a freelance railway set in northeastern Ontario
in April of 1977. The boxcar is an Intermountain 40' car that has
been modified to resemble

Foundry.

2: Ruphe and Tumbelle number 28 eases its train down the
side of Pioneer Pass and rolls over a small fill and culvert, one
of many the R&T uses to cross the numerous creeks in the
area. The rock cut in the background leads into tunnel 1, the
last tunnel on the line before the R&T emerges into the foot-
hills and arrives at the town of Tumbelle.

area is the first scenery to be built on his layout and it spar-
