3) Eastbound at Crater Loop entering the single track truss bridge.

7) Passing the Amtrak passenger platform in Sage.

8) Arrival at Fall River Yard. The train crew will run the power to the house, while yard crews will move the train to the Intermodal hub to the West of the yard.

nice photos.  I particularly like #1 and #4.  #1 looks like my usual railfanning adventure - the cool power is spotted behind the light pole :-)

Very nice work!   Great utilization of rolling stock, containers, pigs, and scenery.    May I ask how you obtained the FedEx 28' pup?    I do not recall Athearn every offering that scheme, so I assume you decaled it?

Thanks everyone, appreciate the nice comments. 

The FedEx trailers were made from undec trailers and decals I printed on a color laser jet printer.
