All I can say on this one is that I am glad I wasn't going that fast. Four geeps waiting for the cleanup crew to finish their work. Today's power on a short coil train. Recently completed (almost) SD45 on point of a rather long coal drag. 1710 and SD50 6517 waiting their turn to cross the diamond. Overall view of the nearly full yard.
Jason, it looks like you have a well stocked layout going here! The detailing looks great! Have you ever leaned over the yard to reach a car on the far track, and have your shirt drag a car off the track nearest the edge of your layout? I have!
Looks like a big oops, did you call Hulcher or the big hook. The layout looks fabulous, nice work Jason.
That's the fun of operations. Stuff like this occurs regularly. Take a moment to "reward" the victoms with a memorial. Like: a cross or a sign in a memorial pile of material that was dumped at the wreck site: "The H.J. Smith Memorial Ballast Pile" Something like that brings personality to your layout. Which looks like it's coming along pretty well at this point. OP's. You gotta love it! Bill
