From the GPHS...
Looking through the town library in Stevensville yesterday, I found these pictures of the Grainsville pacific while it was still under SP control as a branch. Apon going to the GPHS(Grainsville Pacific Historical Society) they directed me to put them here.
They have caption on the backs of them, which I will post above every shot.
Grainsville, May,1953
Midnight beach train happened to be rollin in to town when My little brother and I had our cameras and were takin photos.
Grainsville, May,1953
Same as the other attached but on a bad photo slide...
Tucker River, March, 1955
I jumped in my car and left my little brother to take shots of the stock extra in town while I went down to the bridge. The road in the marsh was realy wet, im amazed my car even made it. Jumped out of the car just in time to grab this shot. This was just after they had taken down the old powerlines, so there was no brush on the fill.
This is also with one of the new cameras our grandparents had given us.
Grainsville, March, 1955
Stock extra going through the slot. Shot was taken by my brother, Andrew.He also had his new camera on him.
Apon reading this, I went back down to the Tucker River Bridge to see if the road the guy had mentioned was still there. It had been some time since some on had used it, and there were trees growing on it now, not even visible from the fill.

Nice shots motorbreath! Saw your new 40ft boxcars, going to get them later!
Good work! Wait, nice work all round, to everyone I say!Another thing, not necessarily motorbreath but to everyone,
I downloaded that loco today, along with Ben's 2-8-2 and his 4-8-2. I'm trying to get them to run in TS2009, what engine spec should I use? I'm thinking about a 2-10-0 one (from a Baldwin file of his, found here: http://rapidshare.com/files/336061730/Loco_US_BenNealBaldwins_v3.zip) for the 4-8-2, but I'm not sure for the 2-10-2. Is there any enginespecs out there for larger locos? Anywhere?
Thanks guys and gals,
Mitch

Hey everyone,
Don't worry, I've got it sorted out.
Lets just continue on with the screenshots, don't let my question stop you!
A MoPac USRA Light 4-8-2 starts steaming slowly out of Diego Yard on one of my routes with a mixed freight. Her little sister, USRA Light 2-8-2, waits for her turn to hog the rails out of the 3/5 mile yard. She is lashed up to a coal train, due in Port Kelly by 7pm, it is now 5pm.
Thanks,
Mitch
Edit: Sorry for the big pic
Edit again: Wow, only just noticed! What a way to spend my 200th post...

I'm just taking a little break from the era, I have too many payware locos I can't run in 1955. Besides, I think this little thread of yours does pretty good, and it was a good idea.
