YARD ACTION PT3

Last week, we saw the local head out to Uniontown with a transfer. Now, let's watch as they return to Hillsdale...

3163 returns with another short train in tow.

Jim is on the front "porch" of the engine, as others in the yard await the train's arrival.

On the head end are a pair of loaded bulkhead flatcars for Smitty Lumber.

There is also a 'block' of empty cars for Wilson Steel Works, including the modified flatcar in the foreground for hauling bundles of rebar.

Also for Wilson Steel is this car for hauling steel coils. The hood protects the coils from the weather, greatly reducing the amount of rust that forms on the coils.

On the tail end; a tank car of chlorine for the Hillsdale Public Works water treatment plant, two hoppers full of plastic pellets for Pete's Plastics, and a cement hopper for the local cement company.
