Shady Dell Pacific Railroad: 1984

(NOTE: This website is NOT affiliated with PNLS or Shady Dell; visit www.pnls.org for current info)

I posted pictures of the Shady Dell Pacific from 1995 and 1998 on my old website on February 9, 2008. I never posted these pictures, but I am including them now for completion.

The Shady Dell Pacific Railroad is a 1-1/2":1' scale outdoor model railroad located in Molalla, Oregon and operated by the Pacific Northwest Live Steamers.

Here is a group of pictures taken at the Pacific Northwest Live Steamers in the summer of 1984, probably in July. I was two-and-a-half years old at the time. Some of these pictures were taken by my dad and some by my mom, with different cameras. I am shown wearing different outfits in the pictures, but I’m not sure if this was two visits or just one.
