It's TEAM TRACK TUESDAY!!!  Share your railroad's team track photos here!  Team track operations are a vital part of day to day railroad operations.  Team tracks are located in rural areas, small towns, and large cities.  Team tracks, also called public delivery tracks, is a multi - purpose siding that offers the off/on loading of practically all kinds of freight cars, some passenger train head end cars, and MOW equipment.  

If your railroad has a non - dedicated siding, meaning that the siding does not service a specific industry, you have the makings of a team track.   All team track folks are welcome to post here ... those with finely detailed layouts, those with a simple loop of tin plate track with a team track siding .... and all those layouts falling somewhere in between!  

This week on the Free State Junction Railway in Lower Patsburg, a car load of refreshing 7 Up has arrived just in time for the up and coming heat wave!  The crew is helping the tractor driver position the gleaming new trailer up to the door of the freshly painted C&O refer car.    Have a playfully creative week!! IMG_2760IMG_2769IMG_2759IMG_2762IMG_2765IMG_2761IMG_2767IMG_2771IMG_2772IMG_2766IMG_2770 

See you next TUESDAY on The TEAM TRACK!!  ( still no sign or clue of Mr. Haney )

Nice Photos everyone...

A vintage Chance-Vought F4U Corsair is being unloaded on the team track. Having been rescued from the desert bone yard. This war bird has been crated up (mostly) and shipped back east...

The owners watch nervously as the unloading process continues...

The owners hope to get it re-assembled, reconditioned and air worthy in time for this years' Reno Air Races.

Greetings and Happy TTT to all. Great posts as usual this week.

The RSJ&B has some new equipment being delivered this week on the Team Tracks, just in time for Summer. The whole town is abuzz since this is being done in secret. The new visitors aboard the train have raised quite a few eyebrows as well. The train crew and ground crew were the only personnel aloud near the train.

Our crack reporter was able to get a few photos but he could not get a full shot of everything.

Great photos this week.  Wish that warm weather that Patsburg's planning for would find its way here (Mass.).  It's like a deep freeze.  The Tomlinson Run Railroad team track is still disassembled due to the Superintendent's school work.  However, some goodies are in the mail for what I hope will be a lively submission come July ...

Tomlinson Run Railroad 

I just checked my front steps and found my package!  Here's a teaser: what can you do with a team track, a nurse, a hobo, two vendors, a man smoking a cigar, and a Woodland Scenics kit?  Sorry, the answer will have to wait until July ... .

Fabulous photos everyone!!!  

SIRT - that sheet rock can get pretty darn messy and you do one heck of a great job making the "messy - ness" look real!! 

Mark Dif - your creative prowess never ceases to amaze us!!  Nice job on the crating of the airplane parts!!  I have a P51 Mustang that I bought at York.  I intend to suspend it from the ceiling at some point down the road.  

Rich - thanks for stopping by the Team Track!  I know your weekday time is limited.  Love the graffiti on the NYC boxcar!!  Needless to say the switcher looks great too!

RSJB18 - keep us posted.  Sounds interesting! 

Brainsilvermustang - WOW!  Two posts today!!  Hope that caboose was found!  You've got some sparkling looking SF diesels doing the switching work on your railroad!  That's a lot of power for a local!  

Tim - nice lumber yard!!  

TomlinsonrunRR - July is a long time off!  I hope we can hold our breath until then!   I hope you soon get some warm weather up there too!

Coachjoe - Yes I have my best tractor trailer driver on this run.  He can definitely get that trailer over the tracks with a quarter inch to spare.

Btw - Last night after I posted TTT I suddenly got a hankering for a big tall glass of 7 Up!  Boy that it tasted real good!!!  See ya next Tuesday on the TEAM TRACK!!  Have a wonderfully creative week everyone!!
