Once again IT'S TEAM TRACK TUESDAY!!!! Share your railroad's team track photos here! Team tracks are a vital part of the day to day real railroad operations. Team tracks are found in rural areas, small towns, and large cities. Team tracks are used to unload/load all kinds of freight cars, some passenger head end equipment, and MOW equipment too. In - other - words team tracks are sidings that do not have a single designated purpose ... unlike those sidings that service a specific industry such as a fuel oil distributor, lumber yard, cement plant, etc.
Remember this thread is meant to inspire one another! Photos of finely detailed models to a simple loop of tin plate track with an undesignated siding ( and all models in between ) are most welcome!!!
Tim - Thanks so much for stepping in and getting this thread started last week!! I love your friend's, Doug W, Independence Day train!! Hot dogs, burgers, relish, onions, and chile .... now that is a freight train calling to be unloaded on any team track for sure! All this train is missing is a car load of RED WHITE and BLUE beer
Mark - I'm sorry to hear about your stitches and hope you are mending well! It's a good idea to always wear safety gear when around the team track, especially when that overhead crane is in operation
Very nice photos everyone and great story Tomlinsonrun!!
Today on the team track number one in lower Patsburg, a boxcar load ( remember I model the late 40's - 1959ish ) of Tucker Torpedos is being unloaded. Lots of people snagged great 4th of July blowout deals at the local Tucker dealership and the dealer is now restocking the showroom and car lot. The foreman is waiting on the tractor trailer auto racks to show up so he can get these Tuckers loaded and off the railroad property. He has a sense that these cars could cost somewhere in the high six digits or perhaps 7 digits one day.
