The video features a log train, making its way from the high country to the mill at Sawyer. The train will pass through Clear Creek, over several bridges and through several tunnels. The Dixie Creek Central shares track rights with the Fiddletown & Copperopolis Ry., which serves mines on the upper level of the layout. Occasionally an F&C loco will help out and make a run to help out the Dixie Creek Central. The second half of the video has a converted Model Die Casting 2-8-0, pulling a Joe Works Coach & Combine from Sawyer to Clear Creek. Enjoy the ride.
