More open top freight cars, loaded or empty.

Rule 1: This is my railroad.
Rule 2: I make the rules.
Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!

The Erie runs a coal train with trackage rights over a portion of the NYBW. Here it is passing through Bedford Falls.
The month is still young. We can stay with coal and ore for a while.

"One difference between pessimists and optimists is that while pessimists are more often right, optimists have far more fun."
I am not adverse to more coal or ore, but any load will do.
This is probably my most unusual load:
More open top loads of any kind.

The latest additions to my roster. Three 50' Santa Fe ice cooled reefers.
The camera angles make it look like there are 40' reefers in the mix, but they are all 50'.

I love these two structures which were both part of a three structure FSM kit (Roadside Delights) that also included a news stand which I have yet to build and find a place for.
