Big Boy showing off
FOR TODAY: It's Sunday in and around Patsburg.
Even though it's a Sunday farmer Ernest Critchet must toil away. If not he risks loosing his crops. He looks forward to supper time, as he knows his wife, Bertha Lou, will have a delicious spread ready and waiting. She told him this morning that desert will be a surprise. Ol' Ernest is hoping it's gonna be strawberry short cake topped off with ice cream. Yum!
Switch tender Booker T. Briggs has to work on Sunday too. Trains still come into the yard although not as many as on the other 6 days of the week.
Patsburg Union Station stays pretty busy every day of the week. Sunday is a big travel day. Many passenger trains will arrive and depart here today. Several roads call on this station, hence the name Union Station. Those roads are the B&O, Pennsylvania, Norfolk & Western, Western Maryland, and Reading. Currently a freight train rolls through on track one.
