FOR TODAY:  Friday afternoon in downtown Patsburg ... the land of pleasant living!  

Certainly not one of your usual scenes Patrick ..................but really a great one. 👍

The warm light tones make it feel very friendly.  I can hear the chatter going on in the street .  👂

By the looks of things, Patsburg Fire and Rescue are ready for a wild night!  Or are they just there to buy some hot dogs??

Sorry been gone for a bit I’ve been training a new Driver and I’m exhausted when I get home from work. So here we go I’ll try to catch up later. All your pics look great.

Thanks for that scene Lee .  Cool car.

Dad had a used  ( preowned ) Studebaker  many years ago.  I remembered being fascinated by that rear window.

We didn't live by the tracks but dad worked at a planing mill which was adjacent to the tracks .  The box car in your scene made me remember them rumbling by while I  waited for dad to get out of work.

(  I was kinda scared  that they might come off the tracks.........sort of like my present experience on the layout. )

Many years ago to my surprise Alco also built automobiles.

Keep those trains running!

Thanks Dallas. My Mom and Dad had one too same year as this one but it was way before my time. Glad I could jar some good memories I really like that car. The Boxcar is a very old Atlas O Scale

Ok this week must have Fallen Rail Flags week in St. Louis so many I missed but I did get some pics. So here’s one I caught this morning. Sorry for the poles in the way

Boy the team tracks in Patsburg always seem to be bustling with activity.  Local business is keeping those rails polished.

Patrick, great scene! With all the guys there sure seems like there is alot of  freight to move by hand!

Tanking up the '63 Stingray...surprised the attendant is out there yet?

Nothing like a cold glass of Milk from a glass bottle. Nice pic Patrick

Here’s another Fallen Flag strolling through St. Louis. Got you guys 2 shots of this one early yesterday morning.

Beautiful pictures everyone, Lee Drennen,  nice cars with graffiti which is real world, Capetrainman, Paul, neat 1960’s scene, beautiful muscle cars, Corvettes always bring a crowd, very nice street show, Trumptrain, I love those Lionel milk cars and platforms, Happy Railroading Everyone…(The Legacy Southern Pacific and UP Challenger belong to my good friend Will.)

Morning guys, what great photos!

Paul, I really love the scenes on your layout! I know I have alot to do to try and get to your level, maybe one day!

Lee, Nice photo shot of the box car, its funny how people think they make great canvas's for there art work!

Larry, what can I say you always have an AMAZING layout! Every photo you share just makes me drool, you would think by now I would know that when I see your name I should put my bib on before I look at your photos!

Denny, Great photo! I see a lot of action going on in the yard, but best of all I see that there is a BN and BNSF engine working hard!

FOR TODAY:  Farmer Hokie Joe Willis has always been one who believes: " The early bird gets the worm."  He wakes up way before the crack of dawn to drive his produce to the railroad's produce terminal.  Here we see Hokie Joe and his truck are the first to arrive  at the terminal yesterday morning.  Ol Hokie Joe even beat the terminal personnel as he's waiting for someone to unlock the gate.  This is standard practice for Hokie Joe.  Good thing his wife Edna sent him on his way with a fresh thermos of hot coffee.   The first slither of light is just now appearing as Hokie Joe waits for the terminal to open.    ( This is another natural light photo. Click on image to enlarge. )

Patrick, Hokie Joe, must have a wonderful farm! Looks like his truck is pretty new, so I am guessing that Sunshine Farms is doing really well!

Here’s another one I caught down at Dupo Illinois not fallen flag but it’s a oldie
