Peter.  Thanks for starting this weeks WPF.

An excellent scene (as usual).

Looking towards Crown Point Yard.  Click on picture for proper one.

Peter, you post pictures that are so realistic, at times it's nearly impossible to tell whether it's a model or the real thing.  Great work.

David, another nice scene from your layout.  Your photo makes the background blend in so well it looks realistic.

A small intermodal yard that is very clean.  I will have to add some junk and some trucks.

Hello everyone,

John, I have a soft spot for machinery doing heavy work - Wish I had space on my layout for a nice scene like yours. David, a nicely done, very pleasant scene. Peter, excellent picture, as always. Here's a tank car in front of the brewery at the club:

I worked on rolling stock these last few weeks. Finally finished the paint job of one of my favorite locos:

Enjoy your weekend (an extra long weekend in Canada!)

Been trying to make it back to WPF, but got stuck in 'gateway timeout' no-mans-land.  

David, your colorful scenes are always uplifting.

John,  Like your yard.  In the 80s I recall Santa Fe's Richmond, Ca. intermodal yard looking fairly clean, except for debris along the chain-link fence line. 

Simon, Nice!  Near my home is a Budweiser brewery.  Lots rail traffic in and out.  Late 80s caught this Frisco plug-door sitting upon the brewery's storage tracks.  An Athearn Genesis rendition of this car sits in my too long line of to-do weathering projects.

Thanks for all the contributions and nice comments.  Also thanks to all the viewers.  Have a good week ahead.  Regards, Peter
