FEL30

Train FEL30 -the Farmingdale Ethanol train- rolls into town.
Power for the train is SD70MAC 8663, carrying the new logo.
Typical of the hopper cars on the head end is this Trinity Rail -built car. With a capacity of 5161 cubic feet, the car is carrying corn for the ethanol process.
Behind the hoppers of corn are the tank cars for the finished product; ethanol.
Lastly, more covered hoppers bring up the rear; most have corn for the ethanol plant.
