Short Story #1: Everyone is Out Working

 On the Danville County Railroad Layout, the workers work really hard and that shows in the photos below. The engines that were out and running today were E Unit #6 in a green and yellow paint scheme as well as steam locomotive #50. #6 which is what we are focusing on first ran bright and early on coal train #744 and #50 was working later on. Inside the cab of #6 are Jay and Mark ready to get the coal train rolling.


Jay: Alright let's get this train rolling

Mark: Ok, i have been ready for a while now.

Jay: I know, i had to check out the fuel tanks and stuff like that.

Mark: I look forward to putting a new light in the engine

Jay: I agree.

Mark: We are on the move, let's go.

The Coal Train is now on the move as it is approaching the main crossing at grovemont towards it's destination point.


Jay & Will later on worked inside the cab of #50 putting a new whistle inside as well as checking the firebox. This was Jay's 2nd duty of the day so he really worked hard.



Everyone is proud of the efforts they put in and worked hard today and it shows gathering for a group photo.
