Trackside Thursday

c.sam...great pics of activity along the tracks...I especially like the British Leland units...saw a '70 or so MGB this morning!  Do you recall who makes those diecast units??

Lee, great theme...sorry I missed it Thursday, but I'll keep my eyes out from now on!  Hopefully, this thread will go as long as the 1/43  etc. auto thread...

Yes, I contributed more to the train derailing that Strap Hanger did.  Thank you, Lee!!

Don’t worry about it Mark. I’m not a hard butt about those kinda things.

Happy TST everyone one more day to go till the weekend and I can’t wait. Today’s TST is some Piggyback’s being unloaded

Trackside in the subway -

Here are some trackside photo's from the Leonardtown and Savannah :

The GP-7 moves a mid day passenger train out of the downtown depot and up north towards Macon and Atlanta.

One of the last steam loco's on the line is finally "free" from the hole and moves a low priority mixed freight up towards the junction with the Southern RR

The wharf area is a little light, having most of its RR traffic moved out overnight to make room for todays cargos.  Workers however are inbound on the RDC and the trolley for all the business and shops downtown.

Happy Thursday everyone

A farmer takes a break from his chores to watch a freight train pass by.

Thanks for sharing your pics you posted some really nice ones this week.  I’m so far behind after Thursday life got me very busy at home and work. I’ll see you next TST.

Happy TST. Everyone. Today we have a couple Piggyback Trailers Trackside being  for pickup after a derailment

Yeah Yeah you retired folks never keep track of what day of the week it is. My dad did the same thing.
Don your  pic looks good. Thanks for sharing and could be a good FEF pic. In case you don’t know tomorrow is FRIDAY. Lol.😂

Oh yea...I remember now...Friday follows Thursday. I will have to keep that in mind, might write it down !  OBTW I saw the picture of your rig parked at a loading dock that was near impossible to access...what a job!  That is a real skill, BZ mate ! Candidly I never did get the hang of parking trailers.  When we had a camper, I had to back down about a 1/2 block to put it in its storage spot.  It was so entertaining that the neighbors would move their lawn chairs to the front lawn to watch!

Santa Fe trackside crew working on the railroad!

Happy Thursday!

Looking down from a rotary aircraft beacon, we see the “knights of the road” making their evening meal trackside.

Moving Day!  The crew at the pipe organ factory prepares to load the trucks with pipes and other components of a new pipe organ destined for a local church:

On the produce track an express reffer delivers perishables and Santana's Produce will distribute said perishables to local grocers.

Hot Rod Horace stands next to his Vette and the fire dept stands at the ready.

Thanks Lee. You’re posting some great photos as well.   The wife picked up that sanitation truck for me at a thrift store a while back and I repurposed it for NYC sanitation service on the layout.

You did a great  job on it. I love the East Coast I used always try to get a load to the East Coast when I drove over the road years ago.

Good Morning Gang. Here’s today’s offering. Some CSX action I took in East St. Louis Illinois

Hi everyone, here are some shots I took yesterday along the L&S right of way.

The boys of the Small Town Car Club are about to have their morning coffee spilled as the hot shot freight moves across the front of the diner.

Likewise, the folks having breakfast at the McDonald's ,might get some cinders in their egg mcmuffin if they aren't careful.

Happy Thursday everyone...remember only one more day till Friday!

Regards

Don

Nice pics Don. Yes and I can’t wait

Trackside pickup, men working, and a dog laying down. Trackside garbage cans, old tires, assorted junk, RR crossing sign, and timber.

The guys are discussing last night's ball game outside the yard office:

Great shot, Tom! Looks like that pickup had some body work.

Does anyone make a forklift crane like this one?

Yes. You can get these with log grapples and I think standard forks. Google Taylor lifts. I don’t know what this one is off hand next time I’m at the CSX I’ll get h to be name of it

Good Morning TST fans today we have a Tanker getting ready to fill up the NW2 DT&I Switcher. Have a great day

Interesting, I spotted this red Cadillac model just now in Don's post above and remember seeing the prototype this summer at a show in Maggie Valley NC!  Gorgeous vehicle. Was part of a 'low rider mini truck' expo.
