Preparing for a New Year

This photo in front of the Avondale Locomotive Terminal demonstrates the prominence of Alco units in the Carleton Railway's freight locomotive roster.  With the exception of five Fairbanks-Morse units (four H24-66s, and one H16-44), a single GE 44-tonner, and five passenger F-units, all Carleton Railway locos are Alcos.  Seen below from right to left are C420 #2010, RSD-15 #2416, C424 #2404, and C628 #2802 (click on photos to enlarge):  

The Baird Company is now ready to begin receiving shipments of wholesale merchandise and raw vanilla at its Grafton warehouse and processing facility.

The yard sale in Wakefield keeps expanding:

Business is booming in downtown South Newbridge.  The tiny Mulheron Street station (top right) has proven convenient for railway passengers who wish to spend a few hours shopping.  

The McCain distribution warehouse in Avondale is a regular rail customer.  Mechanical reefers are loaded at the modern faculty at every operating session.
The next operating session is scheduled for Friday evening, January 11.

Thanks for the pictures and updates. See you have been busy since your last update. I will be glad when the WRS gets to a point when I can start adding all of those details.

Best of luck with the operating session, may it be first of many this year. Your fleet of locos need a more hours added on their "clocks".
