stg-12-14-01 Live from the field, via my Sharp Wizard 1 MB: Sat Dec 15 Got up late and missed most of the trains. Hudson - Took nephew to the Hudson Model RR Club for thier Open House. He is only four and even though I told him not to, he kept trying to touch the trains. Taylor - Nothing going on. Sunday Dec 16 I got up early and was out by 9:30 Avoca - Stopped by the ball field and the signal was yellow and then turned to Green. Damn Just missed one. Taylor - Got up to Talyor by 10:30 and a coal train was in the yard. Upon closer inspection, it was the tail end pusher, an NS wide cab. Two CP units were cut on to assault the grade. Another train was on the siding. Coal train went north, and the train in the siding,412, headed south. There were like 8 units on 412 Went home to eat Hudson - Stopped by the Hudson model RR club to finsh off a tape in my camcorder. I really took a good look at the layout this time. Some Highlights : Wadell Coal Company hoppers in orange. Road sets of RS-3's in D&H, and EL schemes A roundhouse and yard surrounded by D&H alcos (Inspired by Oneata ???) A CNJ Babyface Baldwin hauling a train of flat cars with business cards of sponsors . LV PA's pulling a train Clinker Steel Company, a steel mill possibly inspired by Bethlehem Steel Very detail rolling stock of mostly fallen flags of the Northeast. Pittston Junction - A few units were laying over at the Yard office, I was wondering if LEPI ran today, I did not see one or hear anything on the scanner. Avoca - Stopped at the McApline St crossing by a short Reading and Northern train, probably going to Techniglass. Steamtown - Went to the bookstore and the bookstore in the Trolley Museum. They were still running trolley trips. The only other thing of interest was a DL alco on bridge 60. |
