ANOTHER BIG LOAD, PT1

Once again, there is a big load sitting in Hillsdale Yard...
The "High-N-Wide" train sits in the yard.
The train is lead by a leased GATX engine.
As can be seen here, the engine has a few miles on it! When last seen, on the "Blue Train", it was still clean. Not any more!
Caboose HDTX 714 is right behind the engine.
Behind the first caboose, is a load of rebar. The power plant that the transformer is going to is also doing a facility upgrade, so rather than run two separate trains, the railroad simply added this car to the special movement; the extra weight of the load actually helps the train's handling performance.
Another loaded car is this drop-center flatcar with a compressor segment load.
