Thanks for that, this was one of my first scratch builds named for a friend. It was an area with hardly any real estate which led into a bad corner with no room for a normal structure so designed and built it to fit and came up with the Indian Motorcycle building. The track to the left goes behind the knee wall and comes out at the other end of the room.

For today: Two photos.

Thanks Ted - I love it!  Nice photo! 

Got a new cell phone today...

For today:  Station announcement .... " Now arriving  on track one. The Congressional." 

Two for today:  scroll down for caption. I took these photos yesterday as I practiced my social distancing ( not a soul around )  at the CSX yard in Jessup, Maryland.  It's been a long time since I've personally seen anything CONRAIL on regular freight trains.  This CSX yard serves a large  automobile distribution center, primarily, and is located on the old B&O Washington Branch ... known by present day commuters as the MARC Camden Line.    The tracks in the foreground are yard tracks that serve a waste recycling transfer center which generates daily outbound trash trains ....ahhh the robust aroma of those trash trains!   The top photo is of a string of outbound cars from the recycling plant. The reason I think those cars are outbound is the buzzards were all over the top of the cars.... which leads me to believe the cars were full of trash ala the pungent aroma  and the flock of buzzards resting on the tops sides of the cars.
