| NIGHT OPERATIONS AT JOE'S October 12, 2004 |
|||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||
| Before the Board Meeting, several of us showed up early to run trains on Joe's new layout. Here the trains are posed for the photographer, a B&O Mikado, Pete's RDC, Joe's RDC, and an EL 44 tonner. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| The B&O passenger train overtakes the Reading RDC. Shortly afterward the RDC left the main line for a run on the inner loop. The trackwork is very smooth, using #6 turnouts and wide-radius curves. | |||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||
| EXTREMELY LOW CLEARANCE - No way could the Budd Car squeeze under this bridge! The railroad is still under construction, and Joe hasn't finished elevating this part of the railroad yet. | |||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||
| IN THE GLOW OF THE HEADLIGHTS - The Budd Car's headlights are nice and bright, and lit up the bridge ahead very nicely. | |||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||
| BOARD MEMBERS HARD AT WORK - By 7:30 everyone had arrived and checked out the trains before going inside for the meeting. | |||||||||||||||||||||
