Car load photos, part 1

For all you modelers out there, here are some photos of loaded freight cars from here in Central Virginia.

A scrap metal load with what looks like part of a building roof! This gon actually stayed in Montview Yard for several weeks before it was finally taken to its destination!

For those of you who wondered about the tie loads from Moon Dog Railcars for the Exact Rail Centerbeam flatcars, here they are!

Here are more examples; these are the longer switch ties, and they have yet to be creosote-treated.

Two more photos of interesting loads; granite blocks! Now you have an excuse to put small pieces of gravel in your gondolas!

Also, note the ex-Sealand Twin-Stack in the background. Now re-lettered for CSX, this is the prototype for the A-Line car; note how faded the car has gotten!
