Guttersnipe. You hit the nail on the head. I worked at UPS as a part timer to get rhrough college. Didn't finish though because I loved farming more. Was blessed in a few major decisions  so now I can enjoy my family and trains . I sure understand  the work around heavy equipment  as I was around it and still am. But I have to admit I enjoy my trains more now than ever but I don't  regret where I came from and what I did during my career.  Thanks.20241010_21091220241010_210908

Jumpin Jiminy, our lives have many parallels.  I wasn't a good student in high school, and was failing in community college, (funny now they offer a study in which I was working ex-curricular)  the college I when to is offing study a broad, and was to busy study broads to be bothered.  Instead of flunking out I tried to get in the service, but they didn't want a diabetic. so I put together a band and went to Nam with the USO.  When I got back music didn't pay the bills so I worked a variety of Jobs  Including fifteen years with UPS before I did fifteen years in heavy construction.  Thank God the union was the same for both.  Or I would not have had that retirement.   I digress I'm beginning to think I want to continue to see the rest of your layout. Looks great

I recently ran a short freight train behind Rutland Railroad #500 - a model of a General Electric 70-Ton locomotive made by Williams-by-Bachmann (23504). The train includes three milk cars - Hood’s Milk - GARE 819, New Haven Dairy GICX 300, and Bellows Falls Co-Operative Creamery MTC 1835. Also, in the consist is Rutland wood caboose #36. Shown on my 10’-by-5’ layout.
