October 17: Tie flats in yard

Unread postby Larry Gibson » Thu Oct 17, 2013 8:02 pm

This afternoon two flats loaded with ties were set out on the end of the Gramps Oil Loading Facility,
They came in on the 215 right behind tender.
Perhaps some after season MOW work is at hand?????

Seems so, though I recall a fair stack of ties that went through last winter, mostly buried in snow. Two flat cars amount to 400 ties, not a huge quantity in any case. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

be well,

Is there a color balance issue between the north & south Cameras or is it just the way the sun is slanting on the grounds?

Allan, there might be a bit of a balance issue, but it is almost entirely the 180* difference in the camera angles.

The south cam is also zoomed in a bit. North is not.

I've tried to correct the issue, but have had only limited success. I think the views are just too different: content, lighting, ect.
