Good evening.
It has been a rainy afternoon with lots of wind so I worked on the rail yards. The track is all laid except for 3 short sidings that will find some purpose related to a rail road. I even got the "rust" on the sides of all the rail.
If anyone is interested Norfolk Southern made this post on their facebook site:
We’re not going anywhere. Every day since the derailment in East Palestine, Team NS has been working to make it right.
Cheers
