Tyco's "Comin' Round the Mountain" SD24 seen here hauling an interesting load of mixed freight...including some cattle truck-trailers, and 3 green Kenworth cabovers. This was taken only minutes before the SD24 popped its pinion gear.

Chops dancing with a train to get this photo of a CNJ Alco. The engineer through an apple
core at him, as he passed. Major cool Tyco action, there, RP.

The engines involved in the accident were not those in my photos Jeff.
The ones involved were built recently. The engines in my photos were built in the 1970s.

A derailment occurred in the process of videoing TYCO Burlington GP20 #5628. Luckily, no cars nor employees were injured.
(By the way, this is not a set-up photo....my Burlington caboose disconnected from the rear of the Tyco freight train and ended up being pushed by the locomotive around half of RETRO TYCO before it derailed at the turnout track.)

That snap of the Star Kist with the green Maine coast line behind
is a great shot! I like the hand rails on that spanking red Cola
tanker. Looks like the boys will have a fine time climbing, hand
over hand. A classic piece from the Tyco Car and Locomotive
Works!

In the 70s, I suffered quite a loss of rolling stock and engines by having track near the edge of my table. I never forgot that and made sure my present layout did not have active track near an edge... I don't think Robbie Knevil could jump off my train track to the floor now...

Edge of the World. Yeah, I've wasted a few. It's easy enough to create a small back board and dangerous
spots. I'd photocopy up some of that Mega Cool Tyco City and paste it up for a building backdrop.
Also makes for an interesting visual for those great videos.

Wow, don't see too many of those polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride cars
running around, very nice, WKS. Otherwise known as Bakelite it was the first
synthetic plastic. Nice PC flat!
Prior to polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride there was this stuff called
Gilsonite, which is kind of like solidified crude oil. Picked up a load of this
stuff in Utah, on a freezing night, and ran it through the Rocky Mountains
on its way to Mexico, where it was used for making newspaper ink, back
in the days of newspapers.
Tipping the scales at 22 tons, it was a very slow and tedious journey
through the mountains on I-70, 10 mph up and 10 mph down the other side.
Wished they had shipped it by train.

Thanks Jeff. Another nice spot for local railfans to view train action is shown in the next photo.
Chessie unit 561 leads a twenty three car load out of Northfield Mountain.
Excellent views of the hills on this local road bridge in Maplewood Maryland.
Plenty of fruit and vegetable products for the residents of Western Maryland.
Nice shots all day but late afternoon views are preferred to view train action.
