The crew of this local was not amused about an unscheduled drop and pick of a single boxcar due to an urgent customer request on Saturday morning. They had an uneasy feeling switching with two GP38-2 a lead usually done by a SW1500.

Nice shots everyone! Bruce, I always like seeing your port side shots..the one with the tires on the pallets is especially great!

A pair of SW1500's with loaded grain cars for Absecon Mills holds on the main while 9617 crosses over to get on the Galloway Industrial Track.

Bruce, did you ever post a track plan and some overview photos? I love your harbor photos but I am also totally lost what layout you may have.

You're right Stephen.Even though diesels have been making inroads across the CNR system,steam still (and always will) rules on the Leetown Division.The division director and also the superintendent of motive power are both diehard steam fans so diesels always seem to take second place after the beloved steam locomotives.If you notice any double-headed trains originating on the Leetown Division it will always be a steam engine on the lead followed by those "internal combustion tin cans"

Is that why the coal is piled extra high on 3513's tender?

Reinhard,

No, I never did a track plan. The layout is in an unfinished section of the basement so a lot of the photos I post are either cropped or photo shopped to hid that fact.
