A couple of flat car loads at the substation.

Stood back to take a longer view and realized that I could easily justify a flat car bring in a load of poles to add to inventory. (along with a crane to off load - details never end.....)

It is 1914/1918 during the Great War. Boxes of ammunition have been loaded onto a Ministry of Munitions wagon. Now awaiting dispatch south.

I've been experimenting making my own ratchet binders for flat car loads. Here's the main generator drive shaft for the new coal fired power plant being built in San Fransisco. The first binders ended up scale 4' long. Too big, needed to get down to about 2 scale feet. The chain is about 20-22 links per inch, from an old necklace. Still a bit large but thot I'd see how it looked. More work to do but this stuff is straining my old eyes........
