Ever feel like something just isn’t right?
This image sums up this whole year.

I saw this section of track on the old Camden and Amboy in Cranberry, NJ last year. It appears they took out a turnout on the branch, but they didn’t replace it with anything. There is also a lot fresh ballast for what could be thought of as an abandoned section of railroad.

Kind of reminds you of a model railroad before someone installs a new turnout. But model railroaders usually ballast after they install the turnout.

On a positive note, I’ve been decorating some hopper cars recently. I’ll try to post some progress images in a few days.

Have I ever mentioned that I have a love-hate relationship with dry transfers. Maybe if they were a little fresher, they would work better. That’s the trouble with manufacturers going out of business, you can’t buy new products from them anymore. When the transfers work, they are great. When they act up, they can really get under your skin.

I also have to finish up a number of posts that are sitting here half finished. Makes this site almost feel like another form of model building, too many projects half finished in a box.
