Taking a break at the "Charles Street Yard" on a Saturday afternoon...

🤔 OK Paul, what is that chick doing there in the mix???? Makes me wonder what is going on in that caboose'.  I think I see ATSF Railroad Police approaching.... 😁👮🏻‍♂️👮🏻‍♀️..

So, Paul, Looks like our boy is in trouble again... I wonder if this is before or after he flipped his 55 Chey''''....

The SS 396 patiently waits for the Mountain Steamer, pulling the coal train, to pass by the South Main Street crossing...

Ted, that guy gets around town for sure!

FOR TODAY:  Brakeman Nigel O'Toole is working the switch job today.  He thinks how it's too bad to have work on St. Paddy's Day.

Nigel yells up to fireman Mickey McNamara who stands on the tender deck " Hey Mic!  Let's head over to the Lucky Shamrock Pub for a couple pints of Guinness and a corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes supper tonight once we sign off for today.  O'l Lucky O'Keefe standing behind me here said he's definitely going too!"  Mic shaking his head in the affirmative yells back " Yep. Sound like a great idea!  I could knock back a nice stout right now!  I'm sure all the usual blokes will be there at the Shamrock too! It'll be a good time celebrating St. Paddy's Day tonight!  Good thing we don't have to work tomorrow!!"

The "Chief" pulls into the North Main Street station...

Wow, there’s so many beautiful scenes on this post, and we’re on page 258, Wow, it’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted any pictures and finally I have a few minutes to share a few views. Happy Railroading Everyone

FOR TODAY:  Gone camping ... a view from my tent flap this morning.

For you beer drinkers, getting the delivery truck ready to roll.

A straight load of 6" x 8" ties (creosote treated) arrives at the "Charles Street Yard" for the tie replacement program about to begin.  The forklift operator musters up his energy for the unloading task!  The "Peterbuilt" driver observes the yard helper chugging down a cold one...

Great scenes Paul. 

I'm still in awe with those figures you have . If you can't tell me where you get them......then I am going to have to make a visit to your train when no one is around.

Always fun seeing  '  your action figures  '  sir.

Yep Ted,  these don't look like my Lionel cookie cutter figures either.

You guys are going to have to share the source for these figures.

[  how close is your train room to Paul's  ( Capetrainman ) ?  ]

Hey DJ..  LOL, Actually, we both live in the same town.. Paul is in the rich section (LOL) and I'm in the poor area'..😁

The two figures in the  above photo are Artista.  I have many of those. Also, Woodland scenics, Some Chochilligans, (Secenic Express) Many from China, (we honest) and many, many from England, Model-U.  Those are the real scanned human figures....

Dallas, thanks for your response...the forklift guy and the fellow taking a sip of Sasparella are Arttista...the guy in the yellow hat and the RR guy are Preiser 1/43.  Ted has the best figures I've seen here.  I've tried to hand-paint figures without much success....!

The "Chief" is ready for boarding at the North Main Street station...

FOR TODAY:  Engine 75 is stopped at the plug to take on water.  Fireman Bernie Evans and brakeman Feets Stover are on the tender's deck.  Once the spout is inserted in the cistern, Feets will place one of his size 14 shoes firmly on the spout to keep it in place as water pours in the cistern.  Meanwhile engineer Chubs Bromley sits in the fireman's seat and reminices about his days as a fireman as he says under his breath " Comin over here and sitting in this seat always reminds me of how grateful I am not to have to shovel coal and stand back there on the tender deck in all kinds of weather. "  ... just another day on the railroad!\
