| The orange NS MOW cars are tie cars and there is an industry here (no buildings) that does something with the ties, but I can't remember what. You can see Conductor Gary has a big ol' smile on his face. This could possibly have something to due with the fact that, like me, last year we were both railfans, now we are railroaders! :) He will be cutting the train off, turning the engines on the wye and then shoving into NS's Vardo Yard to drop his 12 loads off and to pick up 13 empties. Unimin Coportation, the parent of the Winchester & Western, sure did choose a neat Nickel Plate-inspired paint scheme for the engines! |
