These don't compare to the Danville yard, but hey...

These are from a photo op I had at Butler Yard in early Dec. I didn't spend a lot of time because a storm was moving through and I was worried about getting home safely.

The first picture is for Brakie, who keeps telling me that I shouldn't over-weather my cars. I'm here to tell him that the 100 car coal drags that come through my town all look about like this.

I'm not really picking on you Brakie--well not too much.

The rest of these shots you'll have to click on so I don't mess up the bandwidth. There are a few restored older birds in her that look pretty good.

By the way, this is what 926 looked like last year.

Fine collection of pix Chip. Personally, I would've preferred the orange B&P paint job on the 'old' body style on 926...but hey at least they're still operating it!

This reminds me, I really gotta go get some photos of the Maryland Midland. So many trains, so little time...

From a nostalgic point of view I agree. But some people like to see what they're doing.

Thanks for the pixs, Chip. I enjoyed looking at all of them. I have tried to find a photo vantage point at our local yard, but have yet to find a good off-property spot.
