Like a Cannonball

Yesterday, when I drove into the H-L's parking lot, what did I see but a pair of RJ Corman's GP16s pushing three boxcars onto the spur that serves our building.  I was very pleased, not only because I do like the trains, but because maybe it means that we're going back to rail service for paper delivery and those who park in the back lot won't have to deal with a maze of poorly-driven tractor-trailers.

Today, arriving within a couple of minutes of yesterday's arrival time, I saw the same two locomotives picking up the empty boxcars.  I had Erin's camera with me, and snapped one decent pic of them - one had a case of bottled water on the short hood, in front of the cab windows!

After work tonight, particularly if we're lucky enough to wrap up early, I'm heading over to the NMRA setup to take some more pictures and mine for ideas.  And maybe, I'll finally get around to posting some pics of my layout, now that I've cleaned it off and finally unpacked everything.

This is only a test.

Posting a picture.

And now, some much smaller trains

So, at last, photos of the layout and most of my locomotives.  I have the usual ridiculous ratio of locomotives to rolling stock.  Need more hoppers.
