Nighttime Neighbors!

Yesterday afternoon we had some unusual looking CP "cars" parked on the tracks beside the station. They were an interesting array of conveyor belts, gears and brushes that caught our interest. We spent a bit of time contemplating their task and where they were going once the regularly scheduled trains passed by. (Or maybe we were having trouble working!) I'm sure someone out there reading this knows exactly what they were designed to do!





AND as if that wasn't enough to peak our curiosity, we had some "renovated" passenger cars pull in beside our fence for the night! One of the cars had a large label declaring it to be an "Engineering Services Track Evaluation Car". I just bet you they belong with the work crew we saw earlier!





We don't normally check out our "grass growth" before we go home for the evening - but last night we did!

By the way - the grass is starting to fill in nicely, especially considering the hot dry weather we've been having. Our recent cooler rains have done wonders! In fact, we could mow before too long. Ah - the joy of having property!

This morning the passenger/work cars pulled out from the station - but maybe they will be back tonight. I think it would be nice to wake up in the morning, open the blinds and see some trees and green grass! They are welcome as long as they need to stay in the area. It's their tracks they are evaluating!
