FOR TODAY:  It may be snowing, however,  the trains are running right on time.

Who ever is in charge of that waiting area needs to install some over head cover for those poor patrons getting soaked with snow.. (LOL)

Nice scene Pat'.. and fitting for the season'...👍🎅🏻

@trumptrain Patrick great photo of the waiting area, I am glad the trains are still on time. But I do have to say that is going to be one heck of a job keeping the platforms clean!

FOR TODAY:  Wednesday morning down at the yard -  The town garbage truck, a 1953 Chevrolet,  is about to depart its' overnight parking spot.   Car knockers, Punky Niezley and Tatter Crocket are at the ready to inspect a string of cars the A5 switch crew will soon ease by them at 2 mph    ... just another day on the railroad.

The A5 switcher, shown in the above photo, has been busy all morning assembling  these two trains.  Soon their locomotives will arrive,  couple on , pump up the brakes, and head west ... one 30 minutes ahead of the other ... it's going to be a good day on the railroad!

I little activity near the road out of Paradise. Happy Hump Day!!

FOR TODAY:   " Oh no! More snow!" MOW Superintendent Big Jim Slim exclaims. " Golly gee those plows been workin 72 hours straight already.   Flapjack Critchet replies, "I'm glad we have enough provisions because it looks like we're about to be stuck out here in this caboose in the middle of nowhere for the entire weekend!"   Reds Farkle chimes in " I sure hope we don't have chile again for supper!"  "I know whatcha mean Reds. That last batch was some high powered stuff!! Whew!!!"  Ricky Scruggs enters the conversation  while shaking his head back and forth and holding his nose. " The night before last was a rough one to endure for sure!  In the middle of the night onest we's all aslleepin o'l Brewster Stevens got up and opened the dang window to let some fresh air in.  Like to froze my keaster off!   Who ever heard of such a dang thing .. opening a window when it's 13 degrees outside!"  

This flanger is seeing some action for sure!   Directly behind the flanger, the headlight of the steam locomotive is barely visible.  The deer are hunting for food.  

This lone black bear may be on the verge of getting covered up with snow as the flanger digs in.

Oh no!  More snow is right, Pat!  I’m glad Patsburg RR has some good men and equipment!  Who’s job was it to store in the food????

Thank you so very much Arnold for your kind words about this photo and my later snow photo.   Much appreciated!

I love the D&H livery and especially as it is applied to their PAs.   Even though the D&H is not part of the 8 railroads I model, I had to purchase an ABA set ( Williams )  when they showed up brand new on the Bay because I LOVE the way these locomotives look.  A real cool thing is, both A units are powered!

Sheep heading for ramp for cattle car

FOR TODAY:  These photos were taken this past August, just as the plow equipment arrived on the rip track from the paint shop.  Maintenance crews spent an ample amount of time repairing and " tuning up " both the rotary and the Jordan spreader.  Their diligent and hard work is paying off today as the snow is giving these machines a good workout up on the Mountain Division.   Here we see Tusk Larkins, Jim Bobby Souder, and Clem Coogel checking out the spreader's wing.  It always pays off to prepare well!

Don't stop and relax yet. You still have one board left to unload,

Hi guys first off I have to say SORRY! I just handed out a whole bunch of likes as I had to go back 2 months from the last time I visited this thread. As a few of you know I have been really busy with other things then trains and layouts! I hope that will change before next winter!

I do want to say I love all the pictures you all are posting and it just gives me ideas to put in my wish list bank!

I hope you all are doing well and safe! Please keep up all the great photos!

I have always liked passenger  trains. Western roads are my favorite.  Here's  a couple in my station.

Cougar watching sheep and a sheepherder.

FOR TODAY:  The new Supervisor's first day on the job ... Ernie Mackadoo, dressed in white shirt, tie, and hat, is yelling orders to his workers ... as if these veteran workers need to be ordered as to what to do.  These guys, who roll their eyes in response to Ernie's barking orders,  know their jobs like the back of their hands.    Ernie is a young fella and is new to this Supervisor stuff.  The guys just ignore Ernie's gruff comments and go about doing their jobs as only they know how to do ... and I must say they do it well!!

FOR TODAY:  Not exactly the snow accumulations of northern California, however the Patsburgian Mountains got hit with a sizable storm!   Flangers and a rotary plow were kept busy over the weekend.

Inspection day today. Hope all goes well.

FOR TODAY:   The Patsburg Fire Dept has been called to the scene of a tank car leaking a flammable substance.   There's definitely a no smoking ban in effect which is to the dismay of Chief Bulldog Merson, who is always chomping on a cigar.   Firefighter  Brooks Benton is about to apply some foam on the leaking substance.  A HAZMAT unit has been dispatched and is now enroute.  

A slightly different camera angle.

FOR TODDAY:  Rufus Kingsley stuggles to hold this crate in place, as a Virginian Train Master idles in the background.  All the guys are hard at work .... just another day on the railroad.

Pat, great action shots.  i wonder if Rufus is an accident waiting to happen.    On the other hand, the foreman back then would just say, "push harder"

A slight delay in the schedule with a rear coupler issue. It should be a quick fix.

Here’s today’s thought I would share a overview of my new O27 layout

My thought exactly.

FOR TODAY:  After setting out this boxcar, this Pennsy A5 goes on with its' switching duties.  Eli Cransford is about to slide open the door of the B&O Time Saver boxcar to see what's inside.  Trucks will soon arrive and the trans- loading will begin.  

Jake Mobley has arrived with his truck, one of many trucks to haul away the contents of this boxcar.  The car is full with plumbing supplies destined for two building materials suppliers in Patsburg.

You know something Patrick the one thing about your photos and layout is that everyone in Patburg is a family person, from the hard-working men or the hard-working wife's that support them! They always do the best they can to help each other! Heck the only surprise that gets me is the young man still riding around without any handlebars!

Great Scence!

Wonderful photos everyone!
Paul, I love all the Greyhound bus's. I need to get more, but they are so spendy! LOL

FOR TODAY:  On the railroad, work is one continuous state of motion.  Wherever the rails lead there is work to be done and for the workers .... it's just another day on the railroad!

In rural areas.

Well fellas, we have a long night ahead getting this unit ready for the morning. Let’s get to it before the sun rises.

Giant watchman

FOR TODAY:  It's Monday mornin and the fellers are gitner done!

Tower operator Clauson Ainsley, perched on the top of the tower steps, waves to everyone while shouting "Good morning guys!"  All the old timers, former railroad workers, have congregated at the base of the tower resting their keasters on old milk crates, wooden boxes and what have you.  They'll be swapping stories, tellin lies, and watching the going on till about noon when they all leave to go home, eat lunch and nap.

Forklift operator Jackson Cooly yaks it up with truck driver Woody Larkins about  all the  good food they ate down at the firehouse supper this weekend.  " I'll tell you what Jackson.  That was some dang good eatin!  I ate till my belly was bout to explode."  Yup, me too Woody!  I had to go to the mens room and let out my belt two notches after all the food I ate up!  Once I did that,  I came back to the table for round two!  I couldn't get enough of that ham, baked beans, butter beans, cabbage and mashed taters!  Next mornin at church I sat in my own pew!!  I just couldn't figure out why that preacher man was scrunching up his nose so much during the entire service.  I can't wait for the next feed down at the firehall!'  Jackson with hearty laughter and shaking his head " Yup, me too Woody.  You know I'll be there!"  .... just another day on the railroad.

Pat, this story is great!  I can now identify with the old timers sitting on my keister.  For me , it is watching young power and telephone utility workers.  Then getting lunch and taking a nap!  😄

The firehall supper on Saturday, then church on Sunday rings home too.

BTW, the gents doing the actual work are gittin er done!!

Mark,

A straight load of 6" x 8" ties (creosote treated) arrives at the "Charles Street Yard" for the tie replacement program about to begin.  The forklift operator musters up his energy for the unloading task!  The "Peterbuilt" driver observes the yard helper chugging down a cold one...

FOR TODAY:  "The yard at night."   ( Photo taken in natural light. )

Here are 2 of my creations for the Red Lion (PA) Model Railroad Club.

My first assignment was a back-of-layout corner filler, the "Schmutzig Coal Company". The lift tower to left and the coal delivery chute building to the right were done by our former club president. The rest (mountain carving and shaping, rock facing, coal car shed on the mountain and the shed below the tower) is mine.

I scratch-built and weathered the Railway Express Agency (REA) office and freight house. The surrounding fence and vegetation are mine also. 

Excellent work, Randy!  Red Lion!  My uncle, aunt, and cousin moved there when he was transferred with Allegheny Ludlum Steel.  He had an American Flyer layout in the basement of their old home near us.  Unfortunately for me, they moved when I was 5, but I think his layout planted the trains seed

Mark:

Thank you for the compliment. I really enjoyed the club while I was a member. Red Lion is about 1 hour from my house in Baltimore. I resigned from the club effective the end of last year due to health issues. The layout and the club members were all really great. I do miss them. My wife and I have made a trip or 2 up to their open-to-the-public events to say hello and see how the layout is progressing.

Also, your uncle sounds to have been a good influence on you getting you interested in our great hobby of model railroading. We all come to the hobby in different ways. Mine was through my maternal grandfather who worked 42 years on the Pennsylvania RR and retired in 1953, 2 years after I was born.

Keep up the great work on your layout and keep us up to date on the progress. I really enjoy your posts and admire your modeling skills.

FOR TODAY:  A view from my office window.

So, Paul, Looks like our boy is in trouble again... I wonder if this is before or after he flipped his 55 Chey''''....

FOR TODAY:  Brakeman Nigel O'Toole is working the switch job today.  He thinks how it's too bad to have work on St. Paddy's Day.

Nigel yells up to fireman Mickey McNamara who stands on the tender deck " Hey Mic!  Let's head over to the Lucky Shamrock Pub for a couple pints of Guinness and a corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes supper tonight once we sign off for today.  O'l Lucky O'Keefe standing behind me here said he's definitely going too!"  Mic shaking his head in the affirmative yells back " Yep. Sound like a great idea!  I could knock back a nice stout right now!  I'm sure all the usual blokes will be there at the Shamrock too! It'll be a good time celebrating St. Paddy's Day tonight!  Good thing we don't have to work tomorrow!!"

Dallas, thanks for your response...the forklift guy and the fellow taking a sip of Sasparella are Arttista...the guy in the yellow hat and the RR guy are Preiser 1/43.  Ted has the best figures I've seen here.  I've tried to hand-paint figures without much success....!

FOR TODAY:  Engine 75 is stopped at the plug to take on water.  Fireman Bernie Evans and brakeman Feets Stover are on the tender's deck.  Once the spout is inserted in the cistern, Feets will place one of his size 14 shoes firmly on the spout to keep it in place as water pours in the cistern.  Meanwhile engineer Chubs Bromley sits in the fireman's seat and reminices about his days as a fireman as he says under his breath " Comin over here and sitting in this seat always reminds me of how grateful I am not to have to shovel coal and stand back there on the tender deck in all kinds of weather.

sticking with Christmas layout scenes that fit the timing of this Easter season

walt

King me!

Night departure from the station.  Brings back good memories of an overnight trip from Grand Central Station in NYC to Biloxi, MS at age 9 with parents.  We had a sleeper compartment for 3, I can clearly remember looking out the window at night from the bunk and falling asleep listening to the clickety-clack of the rails.  And the waffles in the dining car were great!

FOR TODAY: "In and around Patsburg."   The Brewtown neighborhood and the Westend neighborhood are dense and busy places.

Butler Junction is a calmer place to be ... and a great place to watch trains.

Still more Easter shots from one of my Christmas layouts
