Cooler morning but still a bit hazy, so decided that errands can wait. Few new scenes..two new rail spurs done. 425 leading 420 out of Lakeville with 11 cars. Picked up 6 covered hoppers in Avon and this one caught me off guard, picked up an empty centerbeam from Genesee Supply or Reserve (?) on Jefferson Rd.
Looked like a State Trooper helicopter flying over in Avon, not a good shot of the hawk(at 40 mph, what do you expect) which just missed being hit by a cable truck as it took off from the field across Howletts Farm, made friends with a couple of dogs-one checking out the tracks after the train passed and the other more interested in what I was doing-. Just items that makes the chase more interesting.
Still plenty of ties in supply area so we'll have to keep our eyes open to see where the next project will be.
On another note, surprised no one made a comment about the July issue of Trains pages 24 and 25 of #17 in Dundon W. Va.
Enjoy! Just scan through thumbnail for anything new that might pop out at you.

BTW, what happened to the edit button? Wanted to correct my misspelling of problem in my last post...
