It is closing in on 6:00 AM, on a cold and grey December morning. There is a heavy, cold fog hanging over the yard, and the night shift yard crew have just finished setting up the remaining freight cars in the yard for delivery to customers. Snow is expected soon.
They now stare in amazement, as CB&Q O5b #5632 assists CB&Q Baldwin Heavy #4960, drawing a long string of freight into the yard. Evidently, the dispatcher had not told them about 4690 breaking down and needing 5632 to assist. The train was due many hours ago, and is just now arriving.
With heavy sighs, the switchers get ready to break down and sort the new arrival. Getting off on time and before the snow is now unlikely. Life on the railroad.

Phil,
Thanks, I'm glad you find them interesting. The images lend themselves nicely to storytelling and give our virtual train sets a little deeper perspective.

Might as well post some more stuff in here.
K&L Trainz & JR Joint Project on Facebook
K&L Trainz and knifeswitch at JR has joined together and working on a project together. Stevelerro provided a 'sneak peak' on his Facebook account on March 25. It appears the trains he'll be making will be pretty 'slim'. Link to Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pg/KLtrainz/posts/?ref=page_internal

Since I've kinda been drooling over narrow gauge stuff lately, I certainly can't wait to see the textures on those K-36 Mikados!
I agree Matt. What does TCM say - this year seems like a horror movie.
I had some problems and lost this version of the route a few a days ago. Had a problem with one of my dg turnouts and after fixing a few missing track sections I was left staring at the desktop when I moved the cursor away from it. Puff, gone, the mapfile folder went from a few thousand files to just a set for 1 blank baseboard. I found only 1 copy in the backups that was intact and just restored it this morning. Not a real problem as this is just for testing out some ideas on the layout but I did want to save it for reference for the work I've done in the MT Union area. The PRR station is all bits and pieces manually placed since there is no model of the real one yet. What do you think, maybe now is a good time to save a separate backup?
Looks like the EBT is adding on some extra cars for the early Thanksgiving rush as No 17 holds for a late arriving east bound K-4. Early snow in the Alleghanies maybe?
Keep 'em coming Matt!
