They are back! Well, that Mercury convertible hauling New Moon trailer is not a train, but in the "Long, Long, Trailer movie it was referenced as such when 'Nicky" was learning to handle the rig.
This is a repeat entry. It was posted for August 2017 but this site closed from August to late October, so no votes were cast or counted.
So, I thought I would try it again. I'm hoping some of you will also post photos for June 2018!
The trailer is scratch built in styrene and hauled by a 1954 Mercury Sun Valley, since a '53 (used in the movie) was not available. The car and trailer wear accurate California tag numbers.
The rig has just passed over the Baltimore & New York main line grade crossing on Highway 5, on its way to a new adventure.

Thanks for setting this up & posting it. I loved this movie as a kid (Now, I'm a 71 yr. old kid). I even got the DVD several years ago & still laughed. Maybe you should have a pile of big rocks behind them to the side of the road. LOL Great shot. 
Great work on the trailer.
