IT's TEAM TRACK TUESDAY!!!!  Share your team track photos here!  Team tracks are a vital part of day to day railroad operations.  Team tracks service all kinds of freight cars, some passenger head end equipment, and MOW equipment too. Team tracks are found in remote rural areas, small & medium size towns, and large cities.  If your railroad has an undesignated siding then share your photos of equipment being on/off loaded on that siding. 

The purpose of this thread is to inspire one another.  Elaborate model railroads of museum quality to railroads consisting of a simple oval of tin plate track with a undesignated siding are welcome!   We want to see your pics!  

This week on the Free State Junction Railway's team track number one, located in lower Patsburg, a Western Maryland boxcar load of heavy equipment tires has arrived and is being unloaded.   

Have a great week and let your fun and creativity flow!!  See ya next week on the TEAM TRACK! IMG_3682IMG_3679IMG_3685IMG_3686IMG_3695IMG_3697IMG_3698IMG_3702

A true Homecoming. CVLS Member 2 Jim Sheets passed away in 2007, in which the engine was sold to Mark A. About 10 years later it was purchased back from Mark by Alec Harley his Grandson and son John Harley. On Sunday the engine returned and moved for the first time in 10 years. Here you see Jared Black and myself running my Dad’s engine pulling Jim’s Loco around the track.

Great photos ( and video ) guys.  

Tim - that is the first time I've seen team tracks mounted on a trailer  Very nice videos of the steamers too!! 

SIRT - beautiful job on the Chessie double door boxcar!!  Nothing says "real" empty like your photos here this week!

Mark - Ahh .... those post war years when US manufacturing was a booming and cranking out appliances!!   Absolutely wonderful photos!!  I especially love the one with the forklift inside the boxcar.  Nice job with the crates .... I assume you made them.  Love the Maytag crate.  Everything is very real looking!!

Brian - great looking station and RDC!  Also love trailer backed up to the boxcar ready to off or on load!  

Thanks everyone!! Hope to see you all next Tuesday on the TEAM TRACK!!  Have a wonderfully creative week!!
