PASSING TRAINS PT4; PITT27 PT3

The conclusion of PITT27...
An older 68' bulkhead flatcar is among the Trailer Train cars in the train. Note the deck risers.
Another look at some of the tank cars in the train as it rolls past downtown. The corn syrup tank cars are leased from UTLX by Corn Products Corporation.
Another look at the bulkhead flatcar, passing its RailBox cousins. While most of these cars had their deck risers removed in the 70's, some still kept them. These cars are now being retired from service as they are at the fifty -year age limit for interchange service.
A TTZX car leads another string of centerbeam bulkhead flats.
An unusual grey car -with red lettering! I photographed one of these CRLE cars, and the Atlas model is nearly spot-on.
An empty AP&W flatcar brings up the rear.
Until next week!
