More industry switching please

Baltimore & Ohio VO-1000 #426 delivers two boxcars of packaging from a printing plant in central Wisconsin to the Holtz Brewery. The fifteen-year-old VO-1000 has a reputation for mechanical problems and Baldwin Locomotive Works has already quit the locomotive market, but for now railroad management is content to keep #426 on the roster to handle local switching chores in the industrial district of East LaSalle.

Show me an image with a railroad worker in the photo.

G Paine said, "More industry switching please."

NYC #874 moves to spot a box car on the Redwing Flour Mills siding, while SW-8, #9622 positions a flat car under the platform crane.

Well it's been a while since the last request.

No parade, but a photo I just found of the new warehouse I scratch built a while back. Forklift transferring from box car to 50' trailer.

Now back to a parade or more forklift, railcar to trailer or trailer to railcar loading.

The photo is a little blurry, but I always thought this car was pretty neat. I don't model the Union Pacific per se but when I saw that Walthers was making it I just had to have one...

They did a beautiful job on the paint work!

Less than a day to go! Show me another one-of-a-kind or special piece of rolling stock.

Show me another long frieght train pulling hard on the grade.

A trio of Denver & Rio Grande Western locomotives, with 68 coal loads in tow, are down to a slow crawl as they climb the grade near Deer Park on the North American Prototype Modeler's club layout in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The nicely Athearn SD40-2T and SD45s belong to NAPM member Doug Mayer and were weathered by Jay Czarnick.  Photo by me.  The model train did have 68 hoppers.

Show me a long frieght train.
