SD Model RR Museum
by Ed Dominick
8-November-09
Hi
SD3Rs,
My
son Eric and I entertained
the public throughout
the day.
A
noticeable
absence
of
people
was
evident
at
1:30
PM........the
start of the Charger
vs
Giants
football
game.
Eric
ran
his
Caterpillar
trains
while
Ed
ran
Thomas
and
James.
Ed
also
introduced
for
the
first
time
an
MTH
Premier
PS2
ALP-44
of the
NJ
Transit
livery
pulling
a
consist
of
passenger
cars.
Green
line
ran
with
DCS
and
two
trains
simultaneously
all
day
while
the
other
tracks
were
run
conventional.
An "accident" on
the
Green
track
was
witnessed
by
an
NTSB
Railroad Inspector
from
Illinois......see
pics
below......a
one
in
billion
occurrence! (Yeah,
right
!!!)
Welcome
to the Ed and Eric
show.
Three
large transformer
flat cars were part
of Eric's consist.
Two
new colorful additions
to the Dominick train
collection.
A
Santa Fe 4-8-4 T-bones
a NJ Transit passenger................can
you
hear the screams???????
Look
closely and you
will see that both
signals are Green.......no
texting
here.......
Minimal
carnage through
lucky strike at
the cars end.
Jeff
was one of two
visitors to view
the accident
and flashed his
badge
to me. He
was
visiting at
the
museum supporting
the countrywide
HO enthusiasts
who spent the
weekend
at
the
museum.
They
came
from
all
over
the
US.
The
probability
of
this
ever
happening
again
is
unbelievable. Jeff
wanted
to
make
sure
the
SD3R
commission
investigates
the
dual
Green
signals
on
the
Green
line. No
engineer
to
blame
here.
