a picture a day....

FOR TODAY: Cool and The Gang! Just another day on the railroad.   I found this Corvette at Cracker Barrel and the 1953 Chevy garbage truck in Weedville, Pennsylvania at I think " Valley Farm Market."

Iris and Emogene, check the lunch menu at Spencer's', restaurant'..

I see Spencer’s is right next to the pharmacy with the great sign.  Maybe Iris and Emogene will need to stop in for some Alla-Seltzer after lunch!  😉

Ha'.. actually Spencer's is a steak house, a little pricy. There's Hammie's, Sassy's ,  Camie's,  and a Howard Johnsons diner. Hard to say where they will wind up... Depends if they want a cocktail I guess.  Only, Sassy's and Spencer's have bars'....🍸🍹😁

Thanks so much Ted!  Happy St. Paddy's Day right back atcha!!  

FOR TODAY:  What's in the photo?  ... This beautiful spring day draws Patsburgians outdoors!  Willy's Weener stand is selling hotdogs and burgers like they are going out of style.  Willy had to call upon his wife Edna, to bring more dogs, burgers, and buns. O'l Jeremiah Lotsford sits on a pile of bricks and dangles a hot dog on a stick as he teases his dog Barnabus. In a few seconds Barnabus will snatch that hotdog right off the stick!  In the lower left hand corner of this photo, Ned Jenkins is literally running late yet again to catch his train.   He better hurry because the conductor just yelled " all aboard".  Firemen of the Patburg VfD will be washing and waxing their apparatus today ... you can bet a growler of beer on that!  They've already have put a nice shine on the department's new 1959 Catalac ambulance.  Young Corky Cathcart can be found at his news stand every morning yelling " Get your newspaper here!  Get your magazines here!  Read all about it so I don't have to shout it!  AND up the street, Bertha's Restaurant will later serve a lunch buffet of the finest seafood in these here parts.  Known for their famous muscles and nightly swingin  live jazz,  people from all over flock to Bertha's Restaurant to enjoy a superb meal that's guaranteed to make their taste buds dance!   .. Just another day down by the railroad!

Another great scene Patrick .

Yep , it's the Valley Farm Market in Weedville Pa.      That's where I was introduced to MTH and bought my first diesel .

Thanks both for your compliment and the confirmation of Valley Farm Market!  

FOR TODAY:  A loan sailor, standing on a station platform is framed momentarily by two hopper cars as two freights headed in opposite directions sandwich the platform. ... just another day on the railroad!

Say HI to Charlie for me Mark.

Here’s today’s. Custom built 1950s Northern Pacific Kenworth I built with a Union Pacific RS-3 in the background

Lee,

Great looking truck.

Just another evening at the town dock. Even an office worker came in to help out.

FOR TODAY:  The final day of winter makes its' departing statement with heavy snow in Patsburg.  Regardless of the weather trains are still running on time.   The B&O Capitol Limited is about to stop at the station as the Pennsylvania RR  Broadway Limited departs. ... Just another day on the railroad!

I was going to post this under "Scenic Sunday" but it looks like there has been no posts there for over a year.  This is my idea of "Scenic" a fleet of passenger cars waiting to be sent off to their next destinations. 

This is a lower level yard which is part of my rebuild of Twin Pines Railroad. Upper deck has been removed to place yard track. I have never bee able to place more than 3 passenger trains on my previous layouts.  So motivating to just see these on the layout... wow. 

Jeff, congratulations on the passenger yard!  It is looking great already!!

This one is for today. I repositioned my Coal yard last Spring I like it better I have more room now
