For today: " Bob Little reporting from Sky Chopper One WPTV in Patsburg.  A switch locomotive pulling a transfer freight derailed when a boxcar from a siding rolled into the path of the locomotive which was traveling on the mainline.  The two collided at just the perfect angle causing both the locomotive and boxcar to go off the rails.  The Patsburg Fire Dept was on the scene in a matter of minutes.  The fire chief and FSJR officials were concerned  that the tank car of diesel fuel directly behind the locomotive was leaking.  No one was injured in this incident.  Railroad officials are investigating  as to why the siding's derail device  may have malfunctioned.  More details at eleven."  IMG_7814

Guys what great pictures...thank you all: Lee Drennen - Man what a parking lot..a '57 Skyliner, '55 Galaxy , and '57 Pontiac WOW!   Bill T - I loved the Maersk Diesel, our son worked for Maersk in Asia on their ships, gotta find one of those diesels  Coach Joe - great gas station and a '50 Caddy convertible (maybe '49?).   BAR GP7- Man, what a super "doodlebug", great detailing or construction if you made it.  Love those things, My RR just has the old Lionel B&O RDC's.   Trumptrain - thank goodness for those first responders from Patsburg...quick on the scene to prevent disaster.

Me - I am just back from a week on the road and was sick (flu) last weekend so maybe I will get something done to post this weekend.  Did post my Air Force train in the FEF thread.  Have a great weekend everyone.
