Now that Attica Yard is in, I have started unpacking boxes of rolling stock. Not having seen any of this stuff since packing up in Ashland 3 1/2 years ago, it's like Christmas in the middle of April. As you can see from the photo above, the yard is already filling up; the two "empty" tracks are the main lines. The Peabody coal train is on a passing siding. With several more boxes to go, obviously building the planned storage yard has to move up on the "to do" list. As many of you already know from experience, that "to do" list does not get shorter, it lengthens on a daily basis. But, that's what it's all about.

Christmas in Springtime

Christmas in April is right! I think unpacking my stored (and some even totally unopened) cars and locomotives is one of the rewards for the long wait while the yards are under construction.
Looks good, my friend! Keep up the good work!
