Good morning Switcher Saturday crew.  It's time once again to express our admiration for little engines that do big things.

Here is my daughter's pet shop switcher, posing at a tunnel

As usual, there's a few simple rules for Switcher Saturday:

1.This threads welcome switchers of all sizes and sources, such as 12" to the foot, live steam, HONGZ and of course 3 rail O gauge.  If it's related to switchers (model switchers, prototypes, critters, switching yards, switching layouts) - we want to see it! Videos, Pics, Stories (true or fictional), poems, whatever! 

2. If you miss the post on Saturday? NO BIG DEAL, just keep posting pictures of your favorites until the next #SwitcherSaturday. If you missed last weekend's post - check it out here.

3. Keep it friendly - we want this to be fun. (we haven't had any real problems with grumpy trolls, I'd like to keep it that way)

4. In regards to compliance with the letter and spirit of the OGR tos, this post is in the photo album section as the subject is switchers and small motive power.  Three rail O is the common medium but anything from prototype through Hongz, grand scales, live steam etc is welcome, as long you took the photo yourself or have permission to post it.  Feel free to post a link to something cool.

In the clear morning light, yesterday's work:

After the last dinner call last evening the crew tied down #1545 and the Dinner Train at the old Station. Yesterday's switching work resulted in the freight consist parked on the East End branch. This AM the crew will park the Dinner Train, deliver the freight train to Interchange, pick up today's incoming cars, bring them to town and do the needed pick-ups and set-outs. All in a day's switching work on the Plywood Empire Route.

This steam switcher came all the way from Atlanta, Georgia to Yankee Stadium to make an important delivery as shown by the box car and billboard in the attached video.

It's 1923 and there will be 2 titans of baseball competing fiercely against each other. Of course, one of them is Babe  Ruth, known as the Sultan of Swat. Who is the other player and what is the product being delivered that the other ball player invested in and made a fortune doing so?
