IT's TEAM TRACK TUESDAY!!!!   Team tracks are a vital part of day to day railway operations.  Team tracks are found in remote rural areas, small towns, and large cities.   Most all types of freight cars can be off/on loaded on team tracks.   MOW equipment and some passenger head end equipment can also be on/off loaded on team tracks.

Today on the Free State Junction Railway's team tracks number 1 & 2 in lower Patsburg, we have a NYC double door boxcar load of auto frames being unloaded and destined for a nearby new auto maker's factory owned by a guy named Preston Tucker.  Patsburg does have a genuine Tucker dealership in the Westend section of town and sales are really great too!!  ( keep in mind  I model postwar 40s and 50s ).  On the adjacent team track we have a Reading boxcar load of lumber being unloaded and destine for a local lumber yard.    IMG_3439IMG_3438IMG_3448IMG_3443IMG_3454IMG_3461IMG_3456IMG_3471IMG_3485IMG_3465IMG_3485IMG_3487IMG_3492IMG_3497IMG_3477IMG_3480IMG_3481IMG_3502

Share your railroad's team track photos here!!   All team track photos from layouts be they museum quality detailed, or a simple oval of tin plate track with undesignated siding ( usually a team track  or public delivery track )  are welcome.  The purpose of this thread is to inspire one another and to keep our layouts fresh by regularly changing our team track scene, just as the real railroad does.   Have a wonderfully fun and creative week!  See you next Tuesday on the TEAM TRACK!

Wow Brian, that's some way of shipping cars!

This week nothing so grandiose in my neck of the woods. Here we have one log car unloaded and one more to go...

The logs are destined for the sawmill where they will be cut down into telephone poles and railroad ties, then cooked in creosote and readied for shipment...
