Happy Halloween

Team tracks and transload facilities have long been an important part of railroad operations. They can be found in rural countrysides, small towns, and large cities. These non-dedicated sidings make it possible for local businesses to access to the nation's rail network. Virtually any type of freight car can be on/off loaded here. You might even find MOW or passenger train equipment at a team track.

Join the fun, share what's being loaded,

unloaded, parked, or exhibited on your sidings.

From highly detailed layouts to simple loops of tinplate, our weekly thread is for everyone!

It's TT & TL Tuesday!  Sorry I don't have any Halloween photos.  I do have home heating oil ( in preparation for the winter months ahead )  being delivered to Team Track One in Lower Patsburg by a Pennsy 44 tonner then trans-loaded to a tank truck.  

After the 44 tonner has pushed the two tank cars onto the team track, Wally the brakeman has uncoupled them from the locomotive.  IMG_6559

Here the tankers sit, fully loaded,  waiting for tank trucks to show up.  The trucks should begin showing within the hour.   fullsizeoutput_6c7

The first truck has arrived.  Ralph, the driver, basically twiddles his thumbs as Dibbey and Junior take care of the trans-loading duties.  IMG_6580
