TRAIN DCL9

Local train DCL9 has returned from Dale City...

Gen-set 300 rolls into the yard, trailing several big reefers from Johnson Foods.

Brad watches as 300 pulls in with CEFX 992125 behind it.

Sister car CEFX 992142 carries the graffiti that all too often plagues these cars.

A pair of tank cars follow, having been emptied of their loads of vegetable oil.

After the tank cars, a string of hi-cube boxcars, loaded with rolls of paper from the paper mill, brings up the rear. Normally, the loaded cars would be on the head-end, but these were picked-up on the way back to Hillsdale and so were tacked on to the end of the train to simplify switching.
