Along the Line_2
Image information
As we head back to our car to drive further south in the hopes of finding more trains to photograph, we pause to snap a photo of the "Mail Pouch" sign on on Rohrbacher's barn. The farmer has taken a break from feeding his animals, and has decided to take a little walk over the wooden bridge, maybe to stop and have a cold one with the boys over at the manufacturing plant. He pauses, and looks down the tracks, waiting for the next train to roll by...
In this view we can see the individual board-by-board construction of the wooden bridge, and the bolt casting details on the sides. The barn is a CC Crow kit, and has all the interior timbers included. The Mail Pouch sign is a decal, while Jerry obtained the Pennsylvania Dutch hex signs (a signature detail for Reading-territory barns) from the internet. The roof repairs are a great detailing touch!
