IT's TEAM TRACK TUESDAY.IMG_6639IMG_6617IMG_6622IMG_6655IMG_6660IMG_6663IMG_6667IMG_6666IMG_6673IMG_6668IMG_6679IMG_6684   Share your railroad's team track activity here.  Team tracks are a vital part of real railroad daily operations.  Team tracks are found in remote rural locations, small town, and large cities.  Practically all kinds of freight cars can be off/on loaded on team tracks.  MOW and some passenger equipment can also handled on team tracks.  

If you've taken any team track action photos lately go ahead and post them here.  Everyone is welcome to particiapate from those with museum quality micro detailed layouts to those having a simple loop of track with an undesignated spur used to unload/load freight, MOW equipment or passenger equipment such as baggage cars, RPO cars, or combines.  Real railroad team track photos are always welcome too.  If you miss posting on Tuesday, no worries, just go ahead and post any day of the week.  

This week on the Free State Junction Railway's team tracks one and two we have lots of action going on.  Team track two has a milk car being unloaded while team track one has buffalo being off loaded onto a cattle trailer.  Two boys on bikes watch the action from several yards away.   At one point the buffalo becomes a bit feisty and begins to charge the guy with the whips.  The boys become excited as the workers can't believe what they are witnessing, which in turn conveys an aura of panic to the boys.  Suddenly the buffalo calms down upon hearing a voice from around the side of the trailer .... its the voice of Buffalo Bob.... the buffalo whisperer.   

Remember to join the fun and post your team track photos here.  Thanks for stopping by the team track and have a wonderfully creative week

Well, this week in honor of the just completed Memorial day weekend a repeat of some Shermans being offloaded in time for some training maneuvers...

As the memorial day decorations are prepared for their annual return to Akron Flag Rental, the township's new naval cannon has arrived via the Team Track!

A small group of residents have worked tirelessly over the last 16 years to get this cannon to Everett. Rumor has it that back in May of 1812, Benedict Clarence Wilson, one of the valley's first residents, used a cannon just like this to single-handedly prevent an invasion by British spies (unofficially starting the War of 1812). As the story goes, Wilson just happened to have a surplus naval cannon in his barn on the day he encountered the spies paddling their way down the Cuyahoga River. Wilson rolled out his cannon, packed it full of powder and lit the fuse. The noise was enough to frighten the Britts and send them fleeing into the wilderness. According to the legend, Commodore Perry was so impressed with the story that he personally requested to have Wilson's cannon on board the USS Lawrence!

Some "historians" from the university doubt the claims. They feel it's more likely that Wilson never had a cannon, never met a spy, and never had contact with Perry. Either way, Everett's new cannon is going to look great at the top of Mud Hill!
