A rare sight on the Seattle & Yakima RR, a Canadian freight passing through. Lionel's White Pass & Yukon RR makes a visit.

That  White Pass engine heads up a wonderfully colorful consist. I also like the string of billboard reefers awaiting to be dispatched to distributors on a priority freight. It gives the sense of a yard that is bustling.with a lot of though traffic on trackage rights. The Yardmaster must have his hands full !

Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.

The video is poetry in motion. Having a consist of giraffe cars is a brilliant stroke of genius. LOL.

David: (DSmith) Been admiring your layout and its additions for some time. First time that I recall seeing the entire train room. Looks great!

The Yardmaster must have his hands full !

He does at times. This morning had 7 consists running on the 3 mains with a lot of switching going on. No derailments or rear enders, a good operating sesson.

David - At least on the MoPac Alcos, it looks like the e-unit switch is in the 'active' position.  That also true on the 44 tonner running on the same loop?  You have done quite a bit of work balancing the speed of both trains.
