Clifton Forge Va is sending the V&O gondola out to Russell for the first leg of its long trip. Here we see the west bound train being pulled out to prepare for the trip.
Getting the power out and going the right direction.
After loading up with coal she is heading out to hook up.
looks like a couple more feet and we are ready to go.
On the way west. This is a new section here. In fact this is the first train to run on it.

Well at last this load of fish is on the move. I caught it as it was leaving the yard in the local.

Its on the way east bound, but it will be spotted on the return trip.
Now we are going west bound, Switched ends and going back. Most of the drops are off a double track main.
Pushing it to Jones.
This is a two man operation. On to stop traffic one to spot the car.
Pardon the cobwebs, I thought I got them all. This is a new angled photo for me, I kinda like it.

Good to see this is still alive. I Have been fighting electric problems now for a couple of months, but I am running again.
Now to clean up my mess and get back to doing some shipping. I honestly got it straight last night. I am excited to be up and running completely.
On the other hand, I'm concerned at the low interest level in these threads -- the view totals on the photos say a lot, nothing like those for most other threads. And there've only been a few participants.

Well do we keep it going or should we just let it die ? I would like to keep it going for a while and leave it open to everyone who want's to participate. I am just now beginning to run trains again since I guess late June and like the option of receiving cars from another layout. or being the between road having a car pass through. Is there a way to promote the idea?
If some other guys choose to join, that's good, but I'm less interested in just swapping back and forth among a few guys!
