ELS Nuclear Power Plant Run

WCL

Canadian National
Well today was another nice day to go and chase the ELS...Today when we got to the yard we were in for a real treat....Today the SD9 and the GP38-2 was on the point and that he was going to lead the train today over to the Nuclear Power Plant
As the train got its cars all ready to pull....He did an air test and off he went







With the last car passing the wig wags we got in the car and took off to a spot that was near a lil creek

 
Then we headed for town to wait for him to come down the street



We then went over to a friends house where he gets a nice front row seat of all the trains that run on this line....Well the trains are not that busy....Trains are usually 3-5 a day


After we left his house we then headed down behind some woods where he zipped along side this lil bridge
 
Now coming to a stop near the WYE to throw the switch towards the plant


We then set up along side this road...and boy...when we look at these tracks....we are shocked to see that these trains still run on this line....The ELS does not have a lot of money to fix there tracks as you can see


The train passes a dog while the conductor throws a treat out the window...As soon as he hears the horn the dog knows that the train is coming and that the conductor always throws a treat out the window

The train now at the switch that will take it into the plant

The gate closed the guards go out and slide there card to open the gate


 
With the gate open the train starts out slow through the gates

As the train slows through the power plant the train comes to a stop in the yard where it will cut away from its consist and pull up to the service tracks where it will tie up for the night

With the crew gone now the ELS power sits on the tracks where it will get fueled back up and tomarrow head back with loads and empties from the plant

You can thank Nikos for the layout and for the wig wags I am not sure where he got them....And thanks for the comment ;)


Thanks again for the comments and Nikos will soon have that route up and going for ya'll to have as well and then you all can run the ELS as well ;)....lol....
 
I enjoyed that story, thankyou. I think that its great that you have got more than one story out of a route, it makes it as if you are actually living/staying near the railway in real life.

ELS Bulkhead car

WCL: In the 5th picture there is a black bulkhead type car ELS #5264. Where did you get that? I've been looking for a forest type car for the ELS for some time. I know Cozmo was working on one but he has been pretty busy with his Perfect Summer route and all the other great engines he has recently released.

Thanks
