Went out past Matlock to play with guns near the old Simpson logging reload area. Rail tracks long torn out and gone, but an old, old railroad log car still sitting and rusting/rotting away in the brush, partly buried. Couldn't get a pic this time, but will try next time I go out there.

It was pretty cool to see an old piece of history like that sitting in and out of context. I didn't get out of the truck to examine it closer, but I'm guessing it had been sitting for at least 30-50 years based on the dirt and brush around it.

Anyone know much about the old Simpson logging rail operations?

EDIT Just got some pics from this morning's session, and a vidclip.  The video shows me shooting an M38 Mosin Nagant carbine, a Soviet WWII rifle.  Unfortunately the huge muzzle flash didn't show in the video :-(  The first pic is me with a New England Firearms "Buffalo Classic" in .45/70 with peep sights.  The second is me with a M38 Mosin Nagant carbine.
