Here it is, ready to roll off the D&RJRR tracks for points N,S,E, or West (or in between).

WP 12606 has left D&RJRR tracks heading to the southwest loaded with Maine products: B&M Baked Beans, Snow's Delicious Clam Chowdah and Fish Chowdah, Wyman's Maine Wild Blueberries, and (of course) L. L. Bean Products for the sportsmen. Company yard foreman (and sometimes photographer), H. G. Hoehandle, caught the car behind MeC 2-10-2 #651 as she labored up the stiff 3.5% grade leaving town.









Have fun with it!

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!"

Great shots! Glad to see that Arizona sun isn't raising cain with her make-up! LOL

Thanks Dick for my one and only comment. I spent a lot of time setting up those pictures and getting things to look "just so." Of the 40 or so pictures I took, those are the chosen few that made the cut. I had a lot of fun figuring out what to do with the products you loaded in the car and I think it would be fun to continue that trend from one person to the next. We shall see what Steve does with it. It should be in his mailbox or on his doorstep here in the next day or so.
