Just some pictures I snapped from my backyard. The rail line is not in constant use, was built in the early 1900's at least that what the date of manufacture on the rails say. The U.P. only uses it once or twice a year to shuttle cars across town. Usually its a GP38, I've never seen these on this line ever and I've been here for about 10 years now. Like I said it's usually road switchers because the line is so old, and not maintained, (their words not mine) and once or twice a year at best. But I thought I'd snap a couple of pic old some boxcars you don't see very often anymore from roads past. Enjoy!

Hi Rattler, this is in Tracy CA. Thanks RonH! Yes Postwar! if you think these are big you should see my transformer!!! LOl!!!
Wow!, I thought my G Scale cars were hard to place on the track. You went really Large Scale. You went Dead Rail I am guessing. Track Power would require a nuclear reactor.

Nice to see WP in the mix
LOL!!!! Yes it was nice to see WP in the mix, actually there were two box, cars I wasn't quick enough to get pictures of the first one which had almost no graffiti.
The best garden railroad I have ever seen! Putting the pond next to the layout was a great idea. Thanks for the photos.
