TRAINS POSING IN THE GARDEN
APRIL 27, 2008
BUDD IN THE GRASS - The Budd Car poses between the flowers and the grass.  The yellow flowers behind it are the same ones in front of the GP-40.
WORM'S EYE VIEW - The Western Maryland GP-40 poses for a portrait with the camera down on the ground looking up.
ENTERING THE FOREST - The train is about to enter the forest consisting of flowering bushes that I can't identify.  The vegetation had to be trimmed back some. BUDD IN THE WOODS - The Budd Car has just passed the spot the coal train was in on the picture to your left.
REVERSING TRACK - The train is running on the new reversing track, which enables it to run back into the basement head first. HEADING HOME - The train is about ten feet further up the line, headed back to the house and the long downhill run to the main yard.
SPLASH OF COLOR - The Lehigh Valley engine's Cornell Red and yellow go well with the bright colors of the flowers.  Midnight just HAD to get in the picture!
THROUGH THE VIOLETS - The Budd Car is running through a pretty field of violets in the front yard.
FIRST DERAILMENT - The hopper cars had derailed just after a switch, so I thought maybe there was a problem with the trackwork. HERE'S THE CULPRIT - It wan't the trackwork, it was a piece of weed that got between the wheels.  Nothing was damaged except my pride.
