PASSING TRAINS PT48; PT3

And now, the conclusion to train PN70, the Pittsburgh-NYC manifest...
Two bulkhead flatcars, both loaded with concrete pipe sections for ongoing sewer repair/replacement work.
Another bulkhead flat, this time with unwrapped lumber, followed by a pair of high cube boxcars, loaded with newsprint paper rolls.
A blue tank car, filled with ethyl acetate: a solvent used for such things as cleaning circuit boards and as a paint actuator. It is also used in some perfumes, and even to decaffeinate coffee! The bulkhead flat behind it has a load of wrapped drywall panels.
Several more centerbeam bulkheads loaded with lumber.
Another high-cube boxcar brings up the rear, with another load of newsprint paper rolls. The papers in the New York area should be well-stocked for the coming week!
