Here it is..........
It's a picture from a derailment that happened on Halloween 2012 in Middletown, CT. Here's an excerpt from a news report:
"MIDDLETOWN, CT (WFSB) -
Officials in Middletown said a minor train accident was reported Wednesday afternoon.
Few details about the incident have been released, but officials said a Providence & Worcester Railroad engine was backing up near the Public Works yard when it derailed.
Emergency officials said fuel began to slowly leak from the 3,000-gallon tank into a culvert, but it is being cleaned up and officials said there was no threat or safety issues to the public."
I see the P & W all the time on my way to the office every day........

Surely it can't just be that it's January and we're all cooped up indoors?
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
You're in the right place at the right time--the Springfield show is the last weekend of the month:

8 acres of trains. And it's crowded.

I've been to the show in the past, as well as the Greenberg one in Fitchburg/Leominster. It's been a while though. I'm bummed I won't be able to make this year's Springfield show as I will be traveling on that weekend.
I haven't run trains yet (except for an oval nearly 45 years ago). I've always been interested in building a small layout and now that I have the time I'm going to get started. I even bought a couple of engines and some rolling stock over the past 7 years or so to get ready. (My wife thought I was insane each time I did that.
)
I've started a thread here asking for your input on my ideas. You guys have been great so far!
By the way, if you stare at the avatar long enough it could make you dizzy......
Thanks for the welcomes!!
