All quiet

Still no word yet from Norfolk Southern on the return of our engines. We've seen some NS folks near the track outside our gates, so we're happily assuming that they're working on the tracks.

It seems that the rail ties underneath the switch leading into our property (but still just barely on their side of the property line) have eroded and rotted to the point that the switch no longer functions, being stuck in a position that doesn't permit any of the equipment to pass safely. Until that's repaired, we're similarly stuck. We'll post more updates as we have them.

In the meantime, our volunteer Yardmaster has started his own, unofficial blog. You can check it out here. There are some great photos there you won't find anywhere else as he has access to items that the public doesn't usually have. Enjoy!
