Another one from the club. These ~20' drop bottom gondolas were built for hauling nickel-copper ore in the Sudbury, Ontario area.
Let's see some sort of unique (or at least unusual or interesting) industrial operation.
Looks like Garry got there a few seconds first. Heavyweight passenger car it is.

EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
I know..... I've already put something on this page, but I just can't resist this one! Here is a pair of outhouses, his and hers, the way they had them at one time.... One appears to be in use as well. Albert the handyman has been spoken to by the Reverend Miller about closing the door when he uses it, but it is a hot day, and, well, you know how those places have an odor.....
Show me a sign you made.
Feed mill signs. DJ.
Show me your EMD F or E diesel.
An EMD F7 hauling a passenger train on my old N scale layout:
Show me something...unexpected.
EDIT: I just realised that was a bit unclear. I meant show me a scene on your layout where someone is caught off-guard.

Well, here's a view out over an inlet of Lake Erie: not that small itself, but my scene is only a couple of inches deep.
Show me an oversize load.

doctorwayne Show me something under wire. Dr. Wayne, Wayne, you have stirred up my curiousity as to what you had in mind by under wire. Since no one replied I thought you might tell us. Any women on the forum would have an answer but it wouldn't be train related. Happy RailRoading and Thanks. Bob

Don't Ever Give Up
Here's an oversized load...
Show me a staging yard.
I assume the something electric meant under an overhead wire system, like a street car. If I am wrong, here is a lot of wire under. This was for my DC era, it is since gone but was fun to make.
So I ask for nothing new.
Here is a staging yard. Visible but used to stage freight trains that are supposed to be gone somewhere else. The layout is unfinished so the cars are just posed, not part of trains being staged.
On the blue foam in right corner wiill run the "SNEAK CONNECTION" where on show-the-non-operators night, trains can run a continuous oval instead of going into staging
Yes, it is visible and even scenicked. But since it is not operated like a marshalling, switching or terminal yard, it serves as staging.
Though visible, it will be behind a 3 track "Port Terminal switching yard" and a 5-track trunkling railroad switching yard, in a place where the bporototype had several railroads with yards side by side. So it is masquerading as "another one of the yards," to be ignored by operators, Just part of the scener. Since it is impersonating an unrelated but nearby yard, I name it Demara Yard after the Great Impersonator of the 1960-something movie of that title.
Show me a railroad with some connection to outer space.
Mom's Robot Oil is a product featured on Futurama, so that's the connection:
This is the rail-served loading dock door of a warehouse at the back of my layout.
Show me a gondola with a scrap-metal load.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Scrap being delivered to the steel mill.
Please show a horse or some horses.
1925... Still some teamsters driving the real thing.
Show me a team track.
superbe Wayne, you have stirred up my curiousity as to what you had in mind by under wire. Since no one replied I thought you might tell us.
I was thinking of an interurban, but a trolley, streetcar, or heavy electric would have worked, too.
The team track at Dunnville, at right, along the edge of the layout:
Show me a steam loco switching an industry.
Doctorwane, I love everything about this photo, track arrangement and building.
Do you mind if I save it for future reference for my modules.

jalajoie Doctorwane, I love everything about this photo, track arrangement and building. Do you mind if I save it for future reference for my modules.
Thanks for your kind words, jalajoie, and by all means save it if you wish. If, for any reason, you post it somewhere, I would, of course, appreciate a word of credit.
Steam loco switching the Publoic Export Grain Elevator on the north side of the Port of Corpus Christi, modeled on a 2x4 foot double-sided layout built ca.1975 for ladyfriend's kids.
Show me something railroady involved with COTTON.
