While the Forum was down, I started watching the on-line railfan camera sites and there are quite a few of them. One of them monitors Leaman Place Junction, aka Paradise, and it is!
Once or twice a day, in the finest short line tradition, a little diesel trundles the four and a half miles from the yard down to the junction with a few cars in tow and exchanges them with whatever shows up on the interchange track. I find viewing this very therapeutic as well as an inspiration for working on the layout.
In addition, in between the freight runs, there are scheduled, steam powered passenger trains, as this is the renowned Strasburg Railroad. Even the freight end of the operations is done right.
