Ugh, grade school fall festival. I had to build a haunted walk and then herd boy scout volunteers. I wanna think about trains, but my body demands advil and sleep. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk
Seems like a million years ago now, this scanned old slide. From a day I'd spent in western British Columbia, a BC Hydro SD38-2 running extra east (displaying signals- white flags) between Vancouver and New Westminster:
From two weeks ago as the train passed through Bertram. Close up of the old Gulf bulk plant building.

So close by the tracks. Would be a good model project. Is there still some relation to the RR? Or with the bulk plant gone, just a long ago customer?
From 08/17/2019 in Cayce, SC, an NS local holds the main at a distant signal, identified by its "fishtail" plate.

"Full Moon 498" An eastbound CP 498 freight drifts downgrade at the point where US 2 and 52 split west of Minot, ND. The nearly full moon illuminates the sleepy landscape at 0312.
I believe the business is long closed down but the building has been cosmetically restored by folks associated with the Austin Steam Train Association. All the storage tanks are gone. They were usually close to the tracks on a siding so that box cars could be spotted at a platform in front of the door.Yeah, it is a nice modeling project. I built a similar Gulf bulk plant for one of my NTRAK modules.
Don't know for sure what the plans are for this loco. She will probably get TVRM lettering but would be cool to see her back in her as delivered Southern tuxedo.
Like a flash from the past, saw these two sitting in my actual backyard. Well, just over the fence!! And from across the tracks on Merrill Street, a rare glimpse of this side of the service track with a nearly empty yard. And my new residence is about a unit length to the rear of this one, and behind the buildings!
