The weekend is here and it is time for WEEKEND PHOTO FUN!!!!

Yesterday the Virginia Museum of Transportation had a special event for home school kids. I took off work and spent the day running trains on the layout.

Also look forward to the Weekend pics and what is shown.

Some probable missed my new building just added to layout, City Jail. My thought was to make it a Historical Preservation the town had saved, and also a Tourist attraction. But, still deciding if I'll keep it on layout. PlSDC17934SDC17935SDC17933an was to put a Preservation sign up and fence around.

Life is starting to return to the river valley on my layout. Highway crews have finished paving, striping, and weathering IL 52 that runs through a tunnel under the elevated Milwaukee Road line to the town of Savanna. They haven't erected the highway signs or RR crossbucks yet, but a brave teen was out on the road trying it out anyway. Maybe he had heard the rumors that the Trackside Tavern would be soon open for business? And the Savanna station will be opening soon with scheduled stops for the California Zephyr and the Santa Fe El Capitan.

The new Milwaukee Road MP-15AC is switching cars outside the Eola Yard as a Milwaukee F-3 is crossing the Mississippi bridge with a mixed manifest bound for Spencer, Iowa.

The sound of 3 hardworking NS units reverberates off the mountains as they lead Rutherford, PA bound 202 through a location known on the railroad fittingly known as ‘Solitude’.

I’m a big fan of the NYO&W F units. Here is a consist in Middletown NY.

For those of of you who are wondering about the diminutive B unit......it’s really a heater car. The NYO&W, being cash-strapped, could not afford steam generators. It did convert 2 of the tenders of its 4-10-2s to steam generator cars for winter running.

One of our club members scored a nice item at an auction this week. It is a scratch-built model of the Ashland Va Train station. River City 3 Railers participates in Ashland Train Day in November. This building is right in front of the Inn where we have been setting up. It will be on our new small modular layout this year.
