IN THE YARDS PT15


A string of  bulkhead flatcars sit in Hillsdale Yard, with pipe loads from Wilson Steel Works. Note that the car above has the new TTX logo.
The repair shop is empty, allowing a look at some of the interior details. Since there is no inspection pit, most under body repairs are done at the Cumberland Shops, along with major repairs.

Another string of bulkhead flats, this time in MOW service. With winter on the way, these cars will be handling replaced ties as the summer track work season comes to a close.
And to assist in removing those ties is this piece of equipment, a Gallmac RMW 115. The articulated arm has a grasping attachment for handling ties.
