The Best of Days, the Worst of Days!

We'll start with the worst days. Just like the real railroads, we had our share of derails and crashes. Despite careful planning and track work, Foo Foo does happen and we captured a few shots of them. There where more but I was unable to get a picture of them before the Hand of God reached over and made things right. These where not staged, but actual shots of pile ups. Enjoy.... (ok, if you enjoy these, your a sick, very sick person haha)

Below the wreck pic's are lots of normal train operation pictures, check them out too!

 

 Caught Ya!

Here's Ron Walker using the big crane. :o)

   Get the Gandy Dancers out there, that track work needs some work! This UP freight derailed just as another freight train passed it going the other direction. The engine took out some cars on the other track too.
 

 Saving the worst for last, was a poor little Mogul, minding his own business, working hard pulling a hopper train when out of the tunnel roars a huge diesel consist and plows into the caboose derailing everything from back to front.

Fortunelty the conductor and brakemen bailed when they saw the diesel coming but the engineer and fireman received severe whip lash and are talking to their attorneys. :o)

 

 Just out of the shop on her maiden run and disaster strikes. Well, back to the shop, seems we need more work!

No one was hurt, just Ron T's pride.


This is what it's all about and the reward for days of hard work setting up!
