It's Team Track Tuesday!!!

 Team tracks are a vital part of day to day real railroad operations.  Found in remote rural locations, small towns, and large cities, team tracks provide access for on/off loading of practically every kind freight car, some passenger head end equipment and MOW equipment.  

This week on the Free State Junction Railway's team track number 1 in Lower Patsburg, we have a boxcar load of Packard automobile parts destine for several local Packard dealerships throughout the greater Patburg area.  A Pennsylvania Railroad 44 ton switcher  and crew is seen pushing the boxcar back onto the team track.  The delivery truck driver and forklift operator are already there waiting for the car's arrival.   The car is uncoupled and the 44 tonner pulls forward.  Almost immediately the forklift operator repositions his lift,  getting ready to do some serious business, as one of the unloading crew begins to slide the door open.  Packards .... a serious automobile!!

Remember to share your railroad's team track photos here!  Real railroad team track photos are also welcome.  Everyone with a team track on their layout is welcome to participate.  If you have an intricately detailed museum quality layout or a simple loop of tin plate track with an undesignated spur come on and join the fun!!

Have a wonderfully fun and creative week everyoneIMG_4325IMG_4326IMG_4327IMG_4329IMG_4333IMG_4336IMG_4338IMG_4340

!  Thanks for stopping by the TEAM TRACK!!

I look forward to this thread each week. Nice job everyone and Thank's Patrick.

Arnold, I have that same Plasticville barn and livestock on my layout. Love em.

Keeping with the car theme, it's January 1971 and the great GM strike of 1970 has finally ended and my boss has ordered a whole box car full of parts to replenish our depleted inventory. Yes I was working overtime to put it away.  A new faux siding at the Garyville Motorsports Park has a tank car to keep up with the racer's demand for Nitrous Oxide.  Azgary100_4230100_4240 [2)100_4222100_4227

Good evening all. Happy TTT again!

Patrick, Mark, Brian, Arnold, Skip, Tim, SIRT, RPMCOBRA,  and Gary- great posts this week.

We finally got back to the RSJ&B Team Track. By coincidence (cough...cough...) an automobile delivery happened to be arriving this evening

On track # 2 PRR 8506 is pushing in a flat car with a pair of shiny new 1965 Ford Mustangs. The cars are very popular and are already sold by the local dealer.

While the Mustangs were being off-loaded, on Track # 1, 8506 also brought in a PRR box car with a very special guest who was on hand to mark the special occasion....It's not a Packard but a close second....

Great post, Bob. I was hoping to see my very first car, a 1967 royal blue Mustang convertible, but did not see it among the Mustangs in your photos. 

Do you have a 1967 blue Mustang convertible in O Scale? If so, I'd love to see it. If not, do you know where I could find it?

Wow guys!!!  The cars have it!!   I didn't realize that my Packard boxcar would inspire the automobile theme of this edition of TTT!!   Very nice creative posts by everyone!!

SIRT - Your empty boxcar with the door open and the single pallet is simply AWESOME!!!!  Your photo speaks volumes!!! Your modeling talent is undeniably exquisite and  such a wonderful inspiration to all of us!!!

Mark -  I really like your lumber flat scene with the two stake body trucks at the ready!  Your junk autos look great and I love the scene with the magnet crane/ suspending the junk car.   Those new 32 Fords look terrific too!!!  As for my boxcar it is a Weaver .... something I picked up at a train show a couple years ago.  All I need now is a Packard to go with it 

AZGary - WOW!!  Such a nice way to repurpose the Plasticville Fire House.  Nice parts department and story to go with it!!

Skip ( NYC Fan ) - Your scene look terrific!!   PL&E with Christmas trees!! Very nice team track scene!!!

RSJB18 - Beautiful Mustangs!!  AND delivered with an 0-4-0 as motive power too   Nice Autotrain photos too!!   Is that a 1949 or 50 Mercury???

Arnold -   Your humor with the baseball team track is great!!  Nice farm scene!

Brian - I really like your photos of the real auto loads covering practically the entire evolution of the automobile!!   Nice Corvette too in your modeling scene!  

Tim - that is one busy lumber mill for sure!!  Nice scene!!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the TEAM TRACK to take a gander of the action!   Have a wonderfully creative and fun week!!  See ya next week on the TEAM TRACK!
