OFFICERS
Hell-o Ray Here.
Superintendent
I’m happy to hear that we had a nice turnout last month
north of the river. I’m sorry I didn’t make it. I was really
looking forward to seeing Floyd & Mike’s layouts again.
We will discuss the possibility of having another meeting
up there again. Hopefully we can get the word out a little
better next time.
Paymaster
I saw some of you at the NNGC and some came to see my
layout on tour. I hope everyone had a good time. I think all
of us need to support all of our railroad modelers and do
what ever we can to promote model railroading. I did see a
few younger people at the convention, by young I mean
under 50.
I wonder some times where model railroading is headed.
I know my kids aren’t interested in trains. They come down
and look at the layout once in a while and tell me it looks
nice and it looks like a lot of work. But I remember that
feeling of being intimidated and overwhelmed at seeing
some of the layouts, but I did have an interest in trains.
They don’t! My Grandkids like to look at it for a few
minuets but then want to go back to doing something else. I
don’t know what we do to get them interested. We can’t
carry our layouts in our hands.
Our clinic for this month has been changed. Being busy
with the layout for convention and then my daughter’s
consignment sale I didn’t get in touch with our clinician as
soon as I would have liked. In fact I never could get in
touch with him. So we will have two mini clinics. Marty
Vaughn will give one on items you can get at a craft store or
other places. I will give one on making a 50,000 gal.
D&RG water tank from the turn of the century. I haven’t
got my tree clinic done yet but I will get it done and do it in
the future,
See you at the meeting!
Sincerely,
Ray Brown

ORGANIZATION
Minutes
August 26, 2014
The group met at the home of Floyd Brittian, MMR,
in North Kansas City at 6:45 PM. Floyd gave an orientation and tour of his model railroad, the Midland Valley.
At 7:45 PM the group re-convened at the home of Mike
Porter to see his representation of the Chicago Great
Western RR and connecting lines. Floyd introduced
Mike's railroad and conducted a tour of the layout. Both
layouts featured a Midwestern setting, dispatcher and
operation, with a waybill and car card system of car forwarding.
Larry Diehl, Acting President, called the business
meeting to order at 8:10 PM. Bob Spurgat was appointed
Acting Secretary. 26 members and guests were present.
The Paymaster Report was presented by Bob Spurgat.
On 6/24/2014 the balance for Turkey Creek was
$5,643.88. For the 2-month period ending 8/26/2014,
income from the Turkey Creek Train Show 2014 totaled
$2,659.00, total expenses for the Division of $3,167.27,
leaving a bank balance and petty cash of $5,135.61. A
detailed Balance Sheet for the Turkey Creek Train Show
2014 showed a total income of $3,759.00, expenses of
$2,707.92, leaving a net income (profit) of $1,051.08.
Other Business:
Larry Diehl, Regional Director, reported that the National Model Railroad Association, due to favorable legislation, decided to keep its Articles of Incorporation registered in the state of Ohio. He also noted that the
NMRA is deliberating the benefits of including all member Regions and Divisions under its existing 501 (c) 3 not
-for-profit umbrella. Larry indicated that one of the major benefits of our existing relationship with the NMRA
is the inexpensive liability insurance we can purchase
when we use public facilities, e.g. Shawnee Mission
School District, at $25/annum. Pros and cons of these
issues were discussed. Larry requested thoughtful consideration when this issue is voted on by the membership
in the future.
Calamity Line
901 W. Santa Fe Street
Calamity Line Park is located on the south side of
Santa Fe Street between Iowa and Marion
Streets. The park also has a walk-in entrance point
on Park Street, west of Logan Street.
History: The 11 acre park was dedicated in 1997.
In the early 1870’s, Johnson County voted $100,000
in bonds to support the construction of this railroad
and the Olathe Township voted an additional
$25,000 in bonds if the line would cross the township. In 1872, shortly after the Civil War, a rail line
was built in Olathe and ran through the land that is
now this city park. This line ran from Olathe to Cedar Junction near DeSoto, then on to Lawrence and
points west. The rail line was the St. Louis, Lawrence, Denver and Western Railroad yet locals preferred to call it the “Calamity Line” as the line always seemed to operate on a financial shoestring. The line followed the winding banks of Cedar Creek through what is now Ernie Miller Park
from Olathe northwesterly to the Kaw River. From
Olathe, the line also traveled southeasterly through
Stanley, across what is now Iron Horse Golf Course
in Leawood, and crossed the Blue River near Kenneth Road in route to Belton and Springfield, Missouri.
Announcements:
The National Narrow Gauge Convention will be held
at the Overland Park International Convention Center,
September 3 - 6, 2014. Volunteers for various duties are
being recruited by Kent Hurley, with the promise of a 1day free admission and a Convention T-shirt.
Thanks to Floyd Brittian and Mike Porter for hosting
tonight's meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 8:30 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert M. Spurgat, Acting Secretary

HISTORY
Union Station Through the Years
1903 The second great Kansas City flood consumes the railroad station in the city's West Bottoms district. Rail executives decide to build
a new train station on higher ground and in a more central location.
1906 Twelve railroad companies unite to form the Kansas City Terminal Railroad (KCTR). Chicago architect Jarvis Hunt is selected to design the new station.
1911 Construction begins on the massive building. Union Station is
designed in the beaux-arts architectural style popular in the United
States and France in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
October 30, 1914 Union Station opens to the public. Just after midnight on the morning of Nov. 1, the first train, the Missouri-KansasTexas Flyer, arrives at Union Station. The station cost nearly $6 million and was part of a $50 million investment by KCTR that also included track additions, switching towers, viaducts and bridges.
1917 Rail traffic peaks during WWI-with 79,368 trains passing through
the Station, including 271 trains in one day.
1921 All five World War I allied commanders arrive by train at Union
Station and meet together for groundbreaking ceremonies for the
Liberty Memorial. Located across the street from Union Station, the
Liberty Memorial is a monument dedicated to the men and women
who served and died in World War I. The memorial was dedicated in
1926.
June 17, 1933 One of the most infamous dates in Kansas City history
is the Union Station Massacre. Convicted mobster Frank Nash, under
escort by a team of FBI agents and police officers was shot and killed
outside the Station during a shootout. Four law enforcement officers
were also killed. There are marks on the front of the building that for
years were claimed as bullet holes from the shooting, but tests by
Kansas City, Mo. police recently showed the marks could not have
come from bullets. However, the myth and the mystery of the incident
live on. There were various theories that other mobsters had committed the crime, but the only man ever charged was Adam Richetti who
died in Missouri's gas chamber. As result of the massacre, Congress
strengthened the power of the FBI.
1945 Passenger traffic hits a record 678,363 travelers with a significant number of America's armed forces personnel passing through
Union Station on their way home from World War II.
1950-1970 Passenger rail traffic starts to decline as the airline industry grows.
1968 The Fred Harvey Company operations-including the Westport
Room restaurant and retail shops close.
1972 Union Station receives federal designation as a protected structure and is placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
1973 Passenger traffic drops to only 32,842 for the year. Only six
trains a day pass through the Station.
1974 Kansas City approves a development contract with Trizec, a
Canadian redevelopment firm, to develop the Station and surrounding
property.
1979-1986 Trizec constructs two office buildings, One and Two Pershing Square, on the property around the Station but is unable to
make improvements to the building.
1983 The Station closes except for Amtrak's inflatable bubble inside
the Grand Hall and the Lobster Pot restaurant. Amtrak leaves in 1985
and the Lobster Pot closes in 1989.
1988 The city of Kansas City, Mo. initiates legal action against the
redevelopment company for failing to redevelop the Station.
1994 The City and Trizec agree to settle their six-year lawsuit. A new
not-for-profit corporation, Union Station Assistance Corporation
(USAC), is established to own the Station.
1996 Voters in Jackson, Clay and Platte counties in Missouri and
Johnson County in Kansas approve a one-eighth of a cent bi-state
sales tax to restore and redevelop Union Station and create a science
museum. The tax raised $118 million toward the total $250 million
project. The remaining money was raised through private donations
and federal funds. The passage of the bi-state tax is thought to be the
first of its kind in the history of the United States.
November 10, 1999 Union Station opens to the public once again.
The building, restored to its former glory, now includes shops, restaurants, theaters and Science City, an interactive science center.
December 2002 In 2002, Amtrak comes back inside the Station to
operate from a renovated $4.6 million passenger boarding and ticketing facility. The U.S. Post Office also sets up an office inside the Station.
September 2005 The KC Rail Experience, a permanent exhibit celebrating both the history of the railroads and Union Station, opens.
2006 Kansas City Southern moves a former train bridge to connect
Union Station with the Freight House District that soon evolves into
the Crossroads Arts District, also connecting to the burgeoning Downtown development.
2008 a beautiful 20,000-square-foot exhibit gallery is built on lower
level to host the world-class traveling exhibits, such as Bodies Revealed, Dinosaurs Unearthed, Diana, and Titanic. Revenues from
these traveling exhibits add additional sources of funding that help
stabilize the Station.
2010 Union Station’s board and staff recognize that leasing office
space inside the Station is another important way to stabilize the Station’s sustainability. Within months, several key civic organizations
embrace Union Station as their new home – including the Kansas City
Chamber of Commerce, Kansas City Area Development Council,
Kansas City Area Life Sciences, Kansas City Election Board and
UMKC professional development.
2011 Science City begins and upgrading plan when Burns & McDonnell invests $1.25 million in new exhibits and sponsors The Battle of
the Brains contest to get area schools involved in designing another
new exhibit.
2012 Science City welcomes the new Science on a Sphere exhibit
featuring a giant hanging sphere that projects images across the
sphere and shares programs in earth science, planetary science, nature and weather patterns and other science topics.
2013 Science City opens The Science of Energy, which was the win-
ning entry from the Battle of the Brains competition, and was designed
by students from Olathe North High School.
March 2013 the fully renovated Regnier Extreme Screen Theatre reopens and begins offering nature films and first-run movies for the first
time. The theatre is wired with a 1 gig connectivity, offering the opportunity for live streams on the large screen for special presentations
and conferences.

Monthly Book Review by Dave Jacobs
Johnson, M. “In Search of Steam Donkeys…, Logging Equipment in Oregon” Timber Times,
Hillsboro, OR, 1996
(Copies are available from Amazon and Abe Books)
When I elected to build an old time prototypical logging camp, of course I wanted to install a
spar tree. I had reviewed a number of publications and thought a spar tree would be little more
than a big stick in the ground. There are a lot of published photographs showing lines which extend to the photographic margins, without explanation of just where they go, what they do or
why they are there. I dug deeper and found more such unhelpful sources.
Then Mr. Bob Bayley of the Turkey Creek group came along and loaned me his copy of this
wonderful book. True to its title it provides terrific information about steam donkeys and related equipment. Such gear includes not only donkeys but also loaders. Spar trees came to include
myriads of lines, shackles and blocks. This book provides information about booms and related
equipment. I have not found such helpful information elsewhere. The volume even includes
explanatory diagrams.
(I must confess that I still needed help to construct the spar tree, and it was provided graciously
by an experienced train enthusiast.)
