Good evening fellow switcher fans!! Thanks so much JHZ563 for getting us rolling today
I'm sure that track mobile earns its' keep at your plant.
Today I attended the Great Scale Model Train Show in Timonium, Md. This is my first show since February of 2020. The show was very well attended! It had an okay representation of O gauge trains. Lots of club layouts running and nice looking club layouts too! I bought two freight cars for a good prices. I almost pulled the trigger on a Weaver B6 which seemed to be going for a good price. I decided to sleep on it though. The switcher was still there at closing time. If I wake up in the morning and am feeling a strong yearning for a B6 I will make a bee-line to the show so I can be there when the doors open tomorrow morning. Do any of you fellow switcher fans have experience with Weaver steam switchers? I don't own any Weaver locomotives. I'd appreciate your feed back.
This thread gets better each week!! Lots of awesome posts here This week Spanky Lang the company photographer has been out snapping switchers all over the property. He's working on a photo project for the PR dept. The project is to portray the FSJR as a "customer first" railroad. Since switchers are the first and last locomotives to handle a load for customers, the PR dept thought it a good idea to show the FSJR switching fleet in action.
Docksider 97 is pulling loads of anthracite coal from a mine in the Randolphian Mountains. The little engine was dispatched to the mine, to pick up a few cars for delivery to a small power plant, long after the regular mine run had departed with 176 loaded cars.

A GE 44 tonner awaits its' next assignment. It just set out this MOW light car which in addition to providing light for night time derailments, helps illuminate the team track for the night shift unloading/loading crews. 
C&O 75, an 0-8-0 has been called to shuttle cars at a brewery. Its' crew likes this last minute assignment because they usually are gifted a 6 pack each by the brewery's operation manager, after their work is done. 
Number 75 passes Washington Terminal RS1 number 63 with a way freight in tow.
