OPERATIONS - Switching reefers & corn 🌽 syrup cars at Seneca Foods 

Great op session. Nice to see the new corn syrup car in service. Always enjoy the scenery on your layout. Nice Protothrottle. PS - still waiting to see some flashing crossbucks ;)

Do you find the proto throttle is something that you consistently use because you love it that much or something you use because you paid a bunch for it and feel obligated? I'm considering purchasing one because it is obviously very cool and prototypical but it also seems cumbersome to use compared to a standard DCC throttle ( but that's probably the point). Very interested to hear your thoughts, or others' opinions that are owners/operators of the proto throttle. Thanks!

Great ops session.

@myfingerlakesrailwaylayout awesome video of your finger lakes railway switching cars keep up the good work my friend

Sir, your ops of a small yard is very inspiration for my 4 x 8 layout which is the Great Eastern Trunk from the Altas book 6 layouts you can model.

Just discovered your layout, looking to find more about it. Nice OP.

Beautiful scenery Bill. 👍👍. I enjoyed the switching work.

Great switching session and beautiful layout!

Enjoyable Ops Bill..like how the crew improvised on switch at refrigerator car

Those cars are some great rubbers. Always love the scheme of this railroad.

That was an enjoyable video, Bill. Thanks for making it and sharing it! I'm really impressed with all the realistic details in the setup. Watching your video reminded me of when I was a kid in Philly. My dad would take a train into the city for work, and the station was only a 5-10 minute walk from our house. There were at least 4 main tracks that passed through, and there was also a big scrap yard with some side tracks like in your setup. There was also a crane with an electromagnet, and it would pick up junk cars and piles of scrap and drop them into crushers and train cars. I used to go there after school to meet my dad when he got home from work, but I'd get there early to hang around that scrap yard and watch the trains. I was probably 8 or 10 years old and got to hang out on the tracks and get right up close to those locomotives. I'd tape pennies to the tracks, and once one of the scrap yard locomotives hit its brakes and skidded right on the penny, making into the shape of a guitar pick. A commuter flew by at about 80 miles an hour, and that penny was so thin I could tear it with my fingers! Hanging around those train tracks is something I'll never forget...

Spectacular op-session 👍

Great stuff Bill. Who makes the low boy?

This layout is gorgeous ... I had to subscribe 😁👍

Get your finger out of the videos.

This is my first time watching one of your videos. I really enjoyed the switching and the detail on the layout. See you next time. Thanks

Love your slow speed switching.

That was an enjoyable, relaxing time. Thank you for sharing!
