Good evening Rail Benders & Spike Drivers,
Hi Flo, Francine isn't here, oh, she had to take the day off now. Things seem to be staying busy here at Jeffreys' dinner! Coffee and a Apple Fritter with lots of Cinnamon & Honey. Thanks
Garry That's thanks for explaning, sounds like you even beat Trump and spurring the economy by keeping all the rail workers and distributor workers busy.
Willie: I'll have to watch it again to satisfy myself.

Good morning ..
David ... Thanks for commenting on my photo. I do have an ice house on the layout, and it is the common Walthers model. It is at the "west end" of the layout where reefers are iced for a vegetable packing plant, a meat packing plant, and a brewery. Those industries ship their reefers to the City of Heartland at the "east end" of the layout. All comes to the wholesaler partly visible in the photo. I only had room on the "east end": for one receiving industry when three would have been appropriate. So I rotate between vegatable reefers, meat reefers and beer reefers. This keeps the railroad operating department busy. (Not to mention the workers of the wholesaler)

Good Morning Everyone. 31° and clear. It was 87° just three days ago! Did some garden maintenance yesterday for a while. Things dried out from the rain and the new little weeds were just poking their leaves up. Got 'em! Picked my first two asparagus yesterday. They start slowly and then BAM! Gotta pick them when they're ready or they stop producing.
Out in the train shed, I just puttered around. Vacuumed a bit of main line and didn't find any stray parts (good), shop-vac'd the floor to remove all of the yard debris that I have tracked in, removed many spiderwebs from the newly-hatched tiny spiders that are hatching this week (bad). Ran some trains and had a derailment that I couldn't duplicate...may have hit a car with the vacuum earlier.
David - That train wreck video switches from the grain train camera view to the oil train camera view around the 2:30 mark and you are seeing the oil train engine hitting the downed hopper.
Everybody have a great Saturday. The wind is slowly shifting out of the south and will die down this afternoon. I'll be firing up the grill tonight...you'll come by.
Willie
