Well, at long last, WP12606 arrived out west being led by a tired trio of Rio Grande GP40-2's.
As it wearily comes to a squeaky halt in the yard, the yard crew hastily breaks up the train to get the products in this one delivered ASAP. Anybody seen the switcher?
As things finally get moving along, we catch a glimpse of the car as it crosses over Turtle Ave before making a brief stop at the general store to unload the sporting goods!
Just around the corner at Tumbleweed, the majority of the produce is unloaded at the small but busy station. Lessee, the baked beans and chowdah will be split up and sent out to a variety of small restraunts around the town with most of the blueberries finding their way to Fred and Red's Cafe. Rumor has it that their will be a surplus of fresh baked blueberry pies for the car show tonight!
Lastly, the car is sent a ways out into the country side past the ol' farm...
...and over the Deep Creek bridge...
...to the small stop of Pockets Flat. Only a few crates left but gladly appreciated all the same!
Now, she's been reloaded with a little copper for indian jewelry, some Arizona cotton, some pecans from near the Picacho Peak orchards and a crate or two of fresh oranges.
Rumor has it, she'll be sent on her way "purty darn quick!"
