DEMO GOES TO WORK PT3

For the past two weeks, we have seen NREX 2009 testing out on locals in the Hillsdale area. Now, let's take a final look at the demo unit.

Once again, switching out hopper cars after a trip from Pete's Plastics.



Another passing freight has set out a string of reefers for Johnson Foods.


The crew picks them up, and moves them to a yard track in preparation for delivery in the next run to Dale City.



Later, NREX 2009 returns from City Fizz with train DCF13, 8 empty tank cars, and two empty boxcars -the latter delivered empty soda cans.


At the end of the day, Ricardo steps down off the demo unit. He was impressed with the unit's performance! Throughout the tests, she handled well -well enough that the railroad went ahead and ordered a genset unit for Hillsdale!
