Welcome to May, in the last post, GP-9_Man11786 requested a freight train from any southern railroad.

 

My first contribution to one of these threads, and I think I have just the thing...

A Blue Box SCL U36B I upgraded a couple of years ago posing with some rolling stock I would have seen rolling through my hometown in central Florida. The two brown boxcars are from the Plant City Model Railroad club.

Now show me an intermodal train on a western railroad...

Early intermodal is the best I can provide. Show me something Northern.

How about a Great Northern boxcar:

Show me a lineside industry.

Not sure if this counts or not but here goes. The Grain elevator, Farm Supply company and flour mill are all lineside, rail-served industries. However the sidings are out of view in the photos. Let's see more linside industries.

I am really pleased with the way this has evolved over the years.

Show me a shot of your whole (or as much as possible) layout.

OK...  Here is Miller's Bed and Breakfast in Hopewell Junction.  It was a wood kit from some company or other (too lazy to go down cellar and look it up).

Show me a business disctrict in a town on your Layout (or the club).

[edit]  Looks like George just beat me to the punch..  So show us a Village instead!

Here is a road on my previous layout; I haven't gotten around to putting scenery on my current one yet...

Show me another road or street, even a pair of ruts in the dirt if that's all you've got.

Here's another road, with a little traffic jam! Fortunately, the guy in the Camaro has the sense to stop! Surprise

Show me another street (road, lane, cowpath) with a grade crossing!
