CAR EXCHANGE PJ AND LESTER PERRY

[Lester Perry]

There we have waybills for 2 cars going from J&M / Clifton Forge to Potomac & Baltimore RR.
I thought it would be good to start from where they are getting loaded. The photos are wide & narrow due to editing. This line is from 5 to 6 feet off the floor. Very close to the ceiling I cut out the ceiling on the top and the sky on the bottom. I think I will show an unedited pic first to give an idea of what I mean.



Now to start the story.

MyJ&M is a small railroad that is one day away from going broke, oh wait I think it went broke yesterday. I think you get the picture. The C.E.O. Is also a part time brakeman.

Pick up a load of crude at the Johnson Oil co. oil well.



Pull it out and hook up the caboose.



Now it goes to the wye at the top of the mountain. This is here for two reasons. 1.So you can change ends of the train, or turn around. 2. go in different directions. Coal mine one way, oil well and small town the other. I have added a drawing to help identify where the photos are.
