As the roving photographer mused through Patsburg today, he shot this video of a freight leaving Patsburg.  The headend brakeman rides the front porch of the GP9 ready to through the switch to allow the train to enter onto the main, while the rear end brakeman rides the back step of the caboose poised to close the switch once the entire train has taken the main.

Thanks so much Mark!  Yes the railroad does earn its keep

Some mother and baby photos. The first and second photos show a Lionel 2855 which I made from a junker 6555. The Micro trains N scale tank car in the second photo was made by just adding a Sunoco label copy  to the black tank car. I made this N scale tank car long before I could find an N scale version of this tank car. I finally was able to find an exact copy of the 2855 in N scale made by Micro trains. Evidently this was a special run car made a few years back by Micro trains.
