I've got a request for you, Mr. Ore Train Man. Can you get pictures of the clay shed and merchandise unloading area at the Tilden? This is one spot I've been trying to see for a long time, but can't see from the tour, or aerial photos, or any picture I've found anywhere.

My thanks for all these updates you're posting: it's the first time I've seen this kind of detail on the operations up there, which I much appreciate for my modeling prospects.

P.S. Where did you pick up that LS&I logo avatar?
