Train in middle of the road.

Something not often seen, today.

Coming back from flying my RC airplanes at the club field, we stopped at a 'ma and pa' ice cream stand and, by chance, an engine was delivering a car to a local plant.  I ran over and was standing in the middle of the road to get the pictures so was a little concerned about traffic and resulted in a 'shaky' picture. Cars were starting to come at me so I had to stop the camera.  This is in Franklin, Ohio.  The track radius, if you shrunk it down to HO, looks like 18"!  Interesting that the engine is a class 1 (if that term is used anymore) railroad as I thought it wasn't worth their time and money to deliver such small quantities and small short lines would do that kind of work where a few people wear 'multiple hats'.
