A loaded tractor-trailer heads out of town with a covered piece of machinery.
Trash day! A city truck makes its rounds. It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta' do it!
Short lengths of rail sit in the yard, ready for use. Their primary use is to get the track back in action after a wreck or derailment; like most Class 1 railroads, the AP&W uses continous welded rail on it's main lines. Lately, when the rail gets replaced on the main, the old rail is starting be re-used on secondary and branch lines. The continous rail-often as long as a mile- saves on the use of rail joint bars (which join the sections of rail together) and provide a smoother ride.
The gang gather at the end of the day to swap info about track work, train movements, equipment conditions, sports scores, politics, etc.
The boys at the warehouse work on another car. Someday Tony hopes to get his own garage; but until then, he'll just have to make do!
