IT's TEAM TRACK TUESDAY!!! Share photos of what's being loaded/unloaded on your railroads' team track. Team tracks are a vital part of day to day real railroad operations. A variety of freight and passenger train head end cars unload on team tracks. Regularly creating new scenes on our model railroads help us develop our creativity muscle and keeps our layouts fresh.
This week on the Free State Junction Railroad Patsburg, Md. team track a B&O GP9 has just spotted an 8 axle well car with a load of beams ( still wrapped in heavy plastic ) from U.S. Steel. The team track foreman and crew are waiting for the special flatbed tractor trailer that will haul these huge beams to a new hydro electric dam project being built several miles away. Not in the photo is the B&O BIG Hook which will move the beams off the well car and onto the special trailer. Click on photos at bottom for story line captions.
