Article #68: A Night around Grovemont

This newest article on the Danville County Railroad Layout is A Night a Grovemont. You will see pics at night at different locations along the layout. From the passenger station to the roundhouse, you will see a few trains as they make their night runs.




 Western Maryland #20 on Light Move  
Sitting right beside the passenger station is Western Maryland GP7 #20 ready to head out of the yard at Grovemont on a light move. The light move is essentially a work train headed down the line towards one of the other yard's where the trains originate The platform of the station is lit up shining right onto the train. It will meet a local freight up the line after departing.

After the Go7 had gone by, we see Alco S3 #6 pulling a local freight back towards the yard at Grovemont. On this photo is is hauling 1 boxcar past the main railroad crossing by the roundhouse. The roundhouse is where the locomotive will turn in for the night getting ready for the next morning. This local L39 runs every night out of Grovemont.
And the last movement on the layout we will see here is a motor car/speeder with a steam locomotive heading past the signals and roundhouse. This move came after the local with #6 had cleared the yard. These motor cars inspect the line on the layout every week day and night.
