Fire up the Emma Nevada, enjoy some hot totties and whistle in that #HappyNewYear as the Grizzly Flats Railroad enters another year full of promising possibilities and continued work on maintaining and honoring the legacy of Ward Kimball! Photo by @SoCalRailway
With all of this cold weather happening in Southern California, isn't it great to curl up and be warm with a steam locomotive? Ward Kimball certainly thought so.
Return with us now, to those thrilling tales of yester-year, as we look at color footage of the Grizzly Flats Railroad through the lens of @pentrexrrdvd! youtube.com/watch?v=9anQJa…
Spending my last day at The Grizzly Flats Barn, scanning Ward Kimball’s notes and drawings from his Emma Nevada build.
The 107-C rolled out and the merch table set up and ready to go for today’s event. Go Team Grizzly!
We're celebrating our two-year twitter-versary by sharing with you an old episode of Walt Disney's "DISNEYLAND" TV show! In it, he talks about his and Ollie Johnston's miniature trains and also shows off the wonderful #GrizzlyFlats Railroad! youtube.com/watch?v=HK7grV…
From the #GrizzlyFlats family to Dan Markoff, the @NVRailroad and the @CTSRR: have fun for us on the 2021 Victorian Iron Horse Round-Up this weekend! We hope to join you all with our own narrow-gauge mogul soon! (Photos: TwinkyLlamasTwo on Instagram, Olaf Rasmussen)
#DidYouKnow that Ward Kimball always wanted a turntable for the #GrizzlyFlats railroad? It wasn't until 1992, when he donated the Emma Nevada to the @SoCalRailway that he finally got his turntable. Here he is in 1992, with wife Betty, dedicating it. (Photo: John Smatlak)
Come spend the #FourthofJuly with us here at the #GrizzlyFlats Railroad, where you can tour Ward Kimball's explosive train hobby that got really out of hand with our wonderful volunteers and docents!
You want shirts? You got shirts! We now have a new stock of t-shirts and stickers for our Nevada Central No. 107C for you to buy at the @SoCalRailway or online! All proceeds go to the eventual operation of the real thing, art by @KMitchroney.
A heartfelt #HappyMothersDay goes out to Ward's own keeper and secret railfan, Betty Kimball, who loved trains as much as her husband did (she just let him take all the credit). #GrizzlyFlats
One minor correction: This photo is actually sometime after 1943. Straight from the boss-man('s biographer).

Quite the "Scenic Wonder of the West"! @wardkimball's property as it stood in 1940-1941 after restoring Coach 5 and the "Emma Nevada" and building them a barn. Nothing but lush orange grove as far as the eye can see!
@GFRRofficial @CSRM_Foundation Woah! Nevada Shortline #1 is also a sister to Glenbrook?! Never knew this before! 😱 Then does that mean this engine from the Bodie & Benton Railway is also a relative of “Glenbrook” and “Emma Nevada”? I did read she was also the same type of 2-6-0 as NSL #1 is...

While 1007 now has a red and cream paint in honor of Philadelphia Suburban Transit Co., SFMTA once painted it to match the gray and red of the modern-day light rail and buses. Not our favorite scheme, to be honest…

I’m planting tomatoes in my yard. WK builds a railroad with a working train! Besides that he owned a world class toy collection, had a band with a record contract, a wife + 3 kids and a job working for Walt Disney. There was no moss growing on Ward Kimball!

@GFRRofficial The first time the #2 ran at the GFRR was in May 1943, so this photo has to be sometime after that.

Ward did the same thing twenty-five years before Mel, in 1989.
I’d like to take this opportunity while Mel Brooks is trending to tell you all that he wore an extra prosthetic finger to his handprint ceremony for the Hollywood Walk of Fame
