TY Chris ;) The Saturday shots really show hte track work. I plan to work on those and post 'em tonight. I have a few more Sunday shots to post here showing the switchstands and a gondo dump pit.

This is about as far in as I go, for fear that I will not be invited back next weekend. I'm standing under the overpass that I drive over and shoot from during the week.

Just for giggles, this is the road I walk down into the yards, were lookin' South now. At the far end of the photo is a crossing, which is near my house, and is where I shot the first photo's for this thread from. The yard lead extends 1/2 mile past the crossing, and used to be the main line through town, but not the old Monon route that ran down the middle of 5th St.

Gondo drop pit, as promised. I'll bet they'd poop a brick if they saw me around that hole! I have a pic from the side somewhere, the pit itself. Sometimes it's full to the brim, sometimes empty. Haven't seen any MOW stuff around for months and it's been empty, so I guess the tracks are mostly in good shape now.
