My layout as of 8/6/05
Title:  My layout as of 8/6/05
Description:  I built up on my layout a bit today. The track that little yellow GE 25-tonner 720 is sitting on is the new CSX branch line, soon to be connected to the mainline. The F units are in charge of a passenger train, loading at the Grafton Passenger Depot, the mix on the close track, powered by C40-8W 6058 and SD45 6549 is waiting for the passenger train to come through, and a mix powered by a GE and three Geeps is on the remaining track. Yes, that is a Budd dome car on the passenger train.

Next on the agenda-- more and better scenery.
