A Short Train (Part 2)

Here's a question... Do you all know that if you click on the pictures in the blog(s), the pictures will enlarge to full size so you can get a much better look at them. The written text doesn't appear though. Small thumbnails of the pictures will appear at the bottom of your screen so you can just sort of cursor along through those and see the images enlarged if you'd like.  But I hope you'd still want to read the text too.

Picking up sort of where I left off with last week's post, here's some more of that short JSSX train continuing on it's way.  Looks like it's heading to the South Industrial job.

The first of the two boxcars passing under Gratiot Ave.

Two weeks ago, I mentioned that I needed to give one of the layout's switch ground throws a touch-up with some Rust Texture to cover over the shine of it's black plastic. I did just that to the one in the picture, and I think also to 22 others that are spread around the layout.

And the 2nd car of the train as it rolls beneath the overpass as well. 

We have to look closely between the two buildings, but there's 815 passing behind ACME Welding and the closed down Jimbo's BBQ.  ACME Welding was scratch-built by me, inspired by the real business on Bridges Street in London, Ont.

Made it onto the roadway on South Industrial Blvd., and there's a RailBox that'll be picked up

In this street level view, looks like maybe the 815 had to wait for the transport driver to get clear of the switch in the road before the railroad could begin it's runaround and lift of the RBOX.

With it's boxcars dropped on the street for a few minutes, 815 is now onto the spur to pick up the RBOX.

And that'll be all for now.  More next time.  Have a good week.
