LAST LOOK...

The string of tank cars from HL06 has been unloaded, and is now sitting in Hillsdale Yard waiting to return west via Pittsburgh.
Other cars have joined the tank cars, including test car Sewell's Point and engineering caboose 4345. Both are in the AP&W's Engineering Blue.
Another company service car, this time an old PS-2 covered hopper in sand service.
The opposite end of the yard has more MOW equipment, scrap steel, and two tracks of cars for the paper mill in Dale City.
Kaolin tank cars, boxcars, and loaded woodchip cars are lined up as HL06 rolls past in the distance.

Close-ups of the cars, with a pair of engines in the background. They will be pulling GPL10 to Dale City later on in the day.
A refrigerated Swift Transportation semi rolls across the bridge as DCL9 passes underneath. The semi may make the final delivery, but each of those big reefer cars has three times as much capacity!
Traffic passes through the intersection of Market Street and County Lane. This look is now gone!
Earlier this year, I redid much of the layout, including most of the town. I also replaced most of the roads, including this intersection. The next several posts will detail the changes that were made.
A new era has once again begun in Hillsdale!
