Three weeks ago (has it been that long ?), I left off my "Follow a One Car Train" post with that RBOX 31916 having just been spotted at the customer's dock over on South Industrial Blvd. For this time, I thought I'd try to document the trip back to the freight yard.
There's that boxcar, and it looks like the brakeman was just about to climb back onto JSSX 813
So here's 813 just starting out on the trip back toward the JSSX yard. There's a yellow derail there that has to be reset after the engine clears the spur.
Here's an example of an area that I need to do some work. The roadway is looking pretty scraped up, done with my track cleaning block. I'd better get a newer coat of paint on that.
If you look closely, the cab of 813 can be seen at the right of the picture as the engine passes behind the abandoned tower. The draw bridge is a photo of one that crosses over the Black River in Port Huron, Michigan.
Pretty disappointed with the way this photo turned out. It's supposedly showing 813 waiting for CN 9203 to clear the diamond where the JSSX and GTW cross. Maybe tomorrow I can try to retake this picture and show it another time.
813 is just coming out from under the Gratiot Ave. overpass now. In the background the the Grey Warehouse, and the Midwest Plastics plant over on the GTW.
The crew of 813 has gotten a late message from the office to pick up and then spot this lone covered hopper at the trans-load facility. So that's going to involve a little more work before they get back to the yard. I'll cover that next time.
Have a good week out there, and go do a little model railroading.
