Stevens Point railroading July 2011
|
Here's a variety of railroading in central Wisconsin.
Here's some of the 300 trees blown down in Stevens Point. This is in Veteran's Memorial Park northeast of the depot.

The 1565 was in Plover, and comes north on the P-line and see-saws into the yard.

|
On the main line, there's a BC loco.

Blue GT doing the yard switching.

Here are two sets of yard engines. There's two SW's here, and the 1565 is a half-mile west of here.

On the west side of Stevens Point, the WC 1565 is working the paper mill.
|

.
All these cars will fit in the 4 tracks inside the mill.
But I had an interesting problem with the automatic photo stitch.
Some of these sure would fit into the little spaces between unloading docks. Scroll right.

And there's another tree blown over.
There's an interesting way to keep snow out of a switch. Cover the points with a paper mill felt.
It would make a colorful model project. Use a red polyester cloth. Or if you are modeling older times, use a yellow to match the old wool felts.
