IT's TEAM TRACK TUESDAY!!! 11/20/18 Edition Thanksgiving Edition!

"Old Macdonald had a farm"  (and an ice loader and a fork lift):

Trumptrain, I like your milk car, and layout, it’s very unique...Arnold your pictures are very nice...Great Thread, Happy Thanksgiving Guys...Happy Railroading..

Great pictures everyone! Patrick, the only thing missing in your scene is the Cranberry sauce. 

This week, just an ordinary delivery of electric motors...

...This just in...the railroad has announced that in order to meet additional customer requests and to generate move revenue for the railroad,  the team track will be closed, pending the addition of lights so as to allow night time (24 hour) pickup and delivery.

Here, some locals are assessing the impact this announcement will have on their operations while they meet with a railroad official...

return to each week to tripe "T" to monitor the railroads progress in the installation.

Lumberjacks, All Aboard!

Got to get those logs rolling, tremendous demand for plywood these days, wonder why?

A day late and a dollar short but the Team Track rolls on....

Happy Thanksgiving All!!!!

We all know what's next....

IT's TEAM TRACK TUESDAY!! ... Thanksgiving Edition!  Share your railroad's team track photos here!  

Team tracks play a vital role in the day to day operations of real railroads.  Practically any type of freight car can be on/off loaded on a team track.  MOW equipment and some passenger train head end equipment can also utilize a team track.  Team tracks are found in remote rural locations, small towns, and large cities. 

Share your team track operations here.  Photos of real prototypical railroad team track operations are also welcome!

This week, with Thanksgiving Day coming up, the Free State Junction Railroad's team tracks one and two have been busy!   Farmers sent a car load of turkey's to market and in a couple days these fine birds will be the culinary center piece of  numerous dining room tables.   A State of Maine boxcar load of potatoes was set out on team track two.  Huge sacks and barrels loads of potatoes are unloaded to be trucked to super markets.   Taking in consideration left overs from Thursday's feast, this entire load of spuds will be consumed by the end of this week!  

Earlier this week our photographer caught truck loads of produce and pumpkins driving away from the team tracks as they emptied out chocked full boxcars.  There's going to be a whole lot of fine eating this Thursday in Patsburg!  

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!   See ya next week on the TEAM TRACK!!  

 

Bravo! Trumptrain!!!! another GREAT Team Track Tuesday!

Just now getting a chance to circle back and check out yesterday's TTT.  Great photos everyone!! 

Randy - thanks for your kind words!  Much appreciated  ... and thanks for stopping by the TEAM TRACK!

Mark - can't wait to see the night time team track unloading/loading.  Wow! Your railroad is really doing great business! Great scenes as always! 

RSJB - Bob - got to love those Christmas trees!  Never too late to post on TTT.

Brian - thanks for the prototype photo!

Bill T - nice scene of head end passenger equipment using the team track!

Arnold - nice farm scene! Love those PW log cars! I had one that came with my first Lionel set back in 1957 and still have it!   I'm sure the ice car is on its way to being set out on the team track as is a boxcar to keep that forklift operator busy.

Leapinlarry - thanks for the kind words and you have quite a fine layout yourself!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the team track to take a gander!  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!!  See ya next week on the TEAM TRACK!!

A parting thought and photo - " As being around family can sometimes be stressful during the holiday season .... Don't loose your head this Thanksgiving"
