IT'S TEAM TRACK TUESDAY!!!  Share your team track photos here.   Team tracks are a vital part of real railroad day to day operations.  All kinds of freight, MOW, and passenger head end equipment can be unloaded on team tracks.  

This week on the Free State Junction Railway team track in Patsburg, a Western Maryland flat car loaded with a road grader for the Patsburg Dept. of Public Works  has just been spotted by the switch crew.  Two PPWD workers have pulled off the safety chains and are waiting on the arrival of a lowboy to take this machine to the public works yard for an inspection.

If you miss posting on Tuesday, no problem, go ahead and post any day of the week!  Have a fun and creative week!!

Patrick, those boys are going to need a wee bit of help with that off-load.

Sirt, it appears that there is some relief to the delineations of your "boxes".  I know you often use pictures mounted for such loads, is this a flat 2D picture or are there actually grooves representing box edges?

Yes those guys will need some help for sure.   The Dept of Public Works foreman, not shown, instructed the switch crew to set the car off in that spot.  Sounds like extra fees will be charged by the railroad to push the flat car back to the ramp.  Good thing that the foreman will be retiring this coming Friday

Coach Joe, that is a PS-1 from Lionel, they came with "loads" inside. Although I do not have that road name I do have others with the same simulated load inside. Pretty cool.
