PASSING TRAINS; PN70 PT2

The first car up is one of TTX's many 60' TBOX boxcars.
Next is a well-worn EEC (East Erie Commercial) 50' boxcar.

5673 and her sister roll through the yard past the track side observers.
 A third EEC car. Note that while this is also a 50' boxcar, it is a  different style of car: the end post spacing is different, as is the side sill. Not all boxcars are the same!
 Another 50' box, this time an excess-height FBOX car. Note the "waffle-side" design of this car -more proof that not all boxcars are the same!
A pair of 33,000 gal. LPG tank cars trail the boxcars, setting the stage for next week, when we look at the first string of tank cars in PN70.
Stay tuned!
