IT's TEAM TRACK TUESDAY!!! Share your team track photos here! Team tracks are a vital part of day to day real railroad operations. Team tracks are found in remote rural areas, small towns, and large cities. Almost all kinds of freight cars, some head end passenger equipment, and MOW equipment can be on/off loaded on team tracks.
Last week, on our one year anniversary edition, Briansilvermustang posted some great photos of teams of horses with their wagons pulled up alongside freight cars on and off loading cargo .... hence the name team track.
Remember all are welcome to post photos of their team track operations here. The only qualification is that you have a team track. It does not matter if you have an elaborately detailed layout or a simple loop of tinplate track with a siding.... post your photos here!
This week on the Free State Junction Railway in Patsburg, the B&O way freight has just pulled into town with a SW 9 on the point. A flat car load of heavy excavation equipment has arrived to help with the retaining wall project down along the river. Here we see the train arrive, cut off from the rest of the train, push the flat car back onto the team track, the first piece of equipment is off loaded using the ramp.

Remember to post your photos here and have a wonderfully creative week!!! Cheers!!!
as the sun sets , a "mainline" Team Track Tuesday develops as a New York Central 0-4-0 stops to get some coal and water....
Actually the steam locos are fueled at this coaling tower and topped off at the water tank shown in theses pics below.
