Windsor Locks Station

A local passenger just arrived. For some reason the train pulled in on the wrong track. Northbound trains usually stop on track 2 and passengers have to cross over track 1 and access the train via the narrow wooden platform between the tracks. (Of course nearby southbound traffic gets stopped during such a station stop.)

 

I wonder what these two are talking about? 

All aboard! Next stop is Thompsonville.

Here's a quick preview of one more freight car that will be part of the upcoming version 1.0 of the VNHRR Springfield route: the iconic State of Maine potato reefer. Those cars were also used to haul clean cargo, typically newsprint, instead of standing around unused waiting for the next harvest season.

Well, actually our new tank car model.
