LOCAL GPL10

Local GPL10, the paper mill train, departs Hillsdale Yard...
Engine 3163 is in charge today. That's Chris on the ground; he has just thrown the switch for GPL10 to exit the yard onto the main.
She pulls a string of loaded woodchip hoppers out of the yard track.
Rolling past the shop building, she also rolls past a pair of centerbeam bulkhead flatcars loaded with lumber for Smitty Lumber, on the south side of town.
There are also a number of boxcars loaded with scrap paper products for recycling.
EEC 5634 is a representation of the boxcars. EEC is the reporting mark for the East Erie Commercial Railroad.
A lone kaolin slurry tank car is at the end of the train, just before the caboose; usually there are several in this train.
