Carquinez interlude...
Author: Notch16

Had a nice time running by cordial and much-appreciated invite on the Crockett layout of the Carquinez Model Railroad Society. 

Not sure how my five-car San Joaquin Daylight got routed through Davis Junction, but I could not have cared less -- it looked right at home, and it's so great to operate!

Athearn Genesis SDP45 with 1969-era detailing and a Rapido Nathan M3 horn casting with Scale Sound System speakers; an Economy Baggage Car from The Coach Yard; Automat, Artic Chair, and Shasta Chair from Union Terminal Imports.

The BART train was a grab shot. Who could resist another Rapido photobomm?

More SJD in two odd locations and one natural.

Sacramento (don't throw stones, boys); a little east of Davis and heading east; Crockett in the shadow of the California & Hawaiian Sugar Company (a scene I remember from the ground and from aboard the short, sad late 1960s Daylights.

Brilliant, Dave! As I said to you there, your train looks like that train, your consist is realistic and beautifully done. Nice run!
