PASSING TRAINS PT53(2)

More of train NP71 from last week...
A short tank car, followed by a TTX-acquired 60' high-cube boxcar, and a pair of conventional 50' boxcars.
A single crude oil tank car, another two-bay covered hopper, and a pair of conventionally-painted RailBox cars.
The hopper is an empty cement car owned by Blue Circle Cement.
The first boxcar has recently been re-painted in the new "TTX" scheme, while the second car still has the old "TTX" logo. Both are loaded with scrap paper for recycling.
An empty centerbeam bulkhead flatcar leads a string of empty molten sulfur tank cars.
A big ex-Golden West Service boxcar and a carbon black hopper are both on the way back west for re-loading.
A final look next week...
