I am hoping to add a more detailed post about the tour this weekend, so check back for details on what could be the last Port Kelsey appearance at the Doubleheaders Tour.

This is a rather well known Canadian railroading picture. A nice collection of CN locomotives from different eras. I believe this was shot in the 70’s sometime, and I suspect none of these are in running condition today.

I have seen several pictures like this over the years. I am not sure what causes the track to sag at the rail joints, I suppose that is where the most vibration occurs causing the ballast to sink. I have seen a few layouts where this effect was delibratly done, and while it looked good in pictures, overall, it just looked like poorly constructed track work.
A telephoto lens exaggerates this effect too.
Thanks Armin for the picture!
