It's been some years since I took this photo. It's amazing how much a route changes in two years.

I had taken this photo as a way to photograph my entire roster at the time. Back then, the rostser consisted of one of the old LGB Santa fe starter sets, a First Generation Bachmann Big Hauler set, An electric Big Hauler (I don't know which generation it is), A Bachmann connie, and a new Bachmann spectrum K-27. The black gondola and the yellow passenger car (Both LGB products, DRGW roadname) were purchased secondhand from a man in town years ago. The green observation car was acquired from evil ebay from a seller that was separating a starter set.

This would be one of the last photos of the yard and the abandoned siding in the background. Both would be removed a few months later. A station and a water tower sit on the site of the old yard, leaving only the passing siding. The coaling platform still exists, but remains in storage as I try to find a place for it. As for the siding, It's now the site of a small house.

The only loss in the roster was the LGB starter set, which was sold to my parents. Although it's still being stored in my room for some reason. However, several pieces of rolling stock have taken it's place. Those include three LGB freight cars, five Bachmann kits, a Spectrum Murphy roof boxcar, a Spectrum caboose, a track cleaning car, two more first generation Big haulers (Both still run), and another brand spanking new K-27.
