Working rail roads and their tracks.

I am a fan of rail and sail combinations, here is a nice with this view at CN-Hallett Dock 5 as a loaded limestone train passed by the H. Lee White unloading, you guessed it, limestone. Duluth, MN - October 25, 2024

Is that the one that used to sit on the south side of the Ireland road exit on the 20 bypass?

I think it was in a neighborhood park somewhere in the Scottsdale area. Before that, it was on the north side of Jefferson on the east side of Mishawaka as an advertisement for some machine shop, as I recall.

Yikes!

Agreed! Yikes!

Any backstory?

Radio controlled locomotive pushing at rear of train didn't respond to commands when train stopped. Kept trying to push.

I thought engines had a anti-slippage sensor??

My father passed away earlier this year, then my step-mom passed in August. So now we're cleaning out the house. It's been been a real process as they lived in the house for almost 40 years. But it's also a bit of a treasure hunt. About 30 years ago my father got into model trains. Found his train box, all N scale.

There are a lot more, every drawer is pretty full, but here's a few. I ordered a bit of track and some lubricants to see if they still run. My best guess is they haven't seen the light of day in 10-15 years. Also found a bunch of buildings that he built and painted, he was learning how to make them look weathered.
