Yard Scenes

New challenge for y'all: freight yards! It must have more than one loco and more than 2 tracks.

**Ralph** · 07-16-2007, 05:31 PM

Hey there Justin. Its always great when people have a suggestion to get the ball rolling! Thanks. You talkin' prototype, model, or either? By the way, do you have one to start us off with? Yard scenes should be a big draw!

I'm assuming a club layout wil qualify for a photo entry?

**Ralph** · 07-18-2007, 09:55 PM

Well heck, I'm just gonna post one!

Here's the small yard that supports my layout's car float operation. It usually isn't this full of locos. I took this picture a while ago as a company shot gathering all of the equipment I'd lettered for my freelanced road.

wow! can you got a top down shot of that? I'm looking for inspiration for my yard

CNWman · 07-19-2007, 05:58 PM

How's this?

It's the only place where three tracks could be in the same shot.

I'll try to remember to do that with my next roll of film. Actually its a pretty simple design, a siding on the main with three ladder tracks and a long lead for the car float.

Great Northern numbers 1187 & 744 a 2-8-0 and rather long in the tooth 4-8-0 give two whistle blast's before leaving the yards in Mpls Junction for Wilmar Minn.

Not the clearest of pictures but all the same it meets the criteria.

I have a proto pic too! Not as busy as Mark's though. Its the small Minnesota Commercial Railroad yard in New Brighton MN.

A proto-type picture here as well. This is the incoming/outgoing tracks at Union Station in Washington DC.

nachoman · 09-03-2007, 11:14 PM

nuts, my yard only has two tracks!

I was at union station in Warshington a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, it was night and I had no idea the trackwork around it was so complicated.
