Georgetown RR - Washrack




On the north side of the enginehouse was their washrack and lube equipment station. If you're modeling a shortline, these features might make some interesting features to add.

Georgetown Railroad - Texas






We were about 30 miles north of Austin this morning and I saw this off to the west, it looked interesting so we exited and went around the block and look what we found. Georgetown RR owns 23 miles of track that connects to the BNSF on both ends. The main interchance is 6 miles south of this location and is with the BNSF. The main products are aggregates produced by The Texas Crushed Stone Company, whose quarry can be seen far behind the horses. Here's some photos, they had a great engine service facility and I got a bunch more photos before they politely asked me to leave.
