Happen to stop by the Amtrak station today check out the schedule. I was lucky enough to catch two MOW vehicles. A non stop Acela heading to NYC, flew by at least 100 plus MPH before I could hit the video button on the cell phone.
You'll see a Gent on the platform who comes every day to see at least one train. Retired conductor, rail fan now... Not interested in a layout though'...
Hi guys, I started to write comments for all the great photos and realized that I haven't been on here since the 12th! I would be here all day!
But I do want to say that you all have amazing photos from the rock climbing to the barrel of fun with everyone! Heck Dave even got in some dirt digging, I have to say that sure is some nice looking dirt!
I hope everyone is doing well and is getting ready for the long weekend!
FOR TODAY: These fellers got some real work to do today! Good thing BIG HOOK has been called to assist. This photo must have been taken as the guys get back to work after break ... as Judd Semple is still sitting on the flat car deck taking the last gulp of his Frosty Root Beer. For the rest of the guys it's back to work! Foreman Nick Crane, in yellow hard hat and back to camera, gives instructions to Junior Custer who stands on the flat car. The fellers back around BIG HOOK are working out a slight mechanical problem before she swings into action. .... just another day on the railroad!

Patrick, sure looks like Nick Crane is working those guys just a little too hard! They should be next door shooting some pool! LOL
Another hard day for Mike at A & B Grain.
FOR TODAY: The golden years of the postwar period. Lionel 2065 steam locomotive, 216 ALCO FA2 Santa Fe diesel, and Virginian FM Train Master. ... not just another day on the railroad! 
A Plasticville model I built many many layouts ago. I've added figures and to me it still looks good.

FOR TODAY ... LABOR DAY 2022: A tribute to labor! ( Click on image to enlarge. ) 
Hail! Hail! The gang’s all here! The labor gang, that is!!
Trumptrain great pictures. Out of all those workers I figure one or two are actually working the others are supervising. Reminds me of a Highway road crew.

Thanks so much! AND yes there are quite a few supervisors for sure.
FOR TODAY: Now that the summer holiday is " officially" over, passengers line the station platform waiting for their trains to take them back home. ... just another day on the railroad!
