The theme for this month's photo contest is RIP TRACKS!!
A RIP track (RIP is an acronym for repair in place) is a designated track or tracks in a rail yard where locomotives and/or railroad cars are set out for minor repairs without removing the units from service, sometimes without even removing a freight load from the car. In some yards, a RIP track may be used for staging locomotives or "bad order" cars for major repairs. Some yards may have more than one RIP track to serve both functions.
Show us a photo of where your railroad performs this type of work and you could win this month's photo contest or even earn a second chance for glory with the "Clinker's" award and possibly, a third chance to grab an "Ash Pit" award. One entry per member please. To enter, follow the link, login to the gallery and upload your photo. Good luck to all and thanks for participating in the photo contests!
