PASSING TRAINS PT6; PN70 PT1

 A set of GE ET44AC demo units rounds the curve with PN70, the Pittsburgh-NYC manifest.
A look at the train as it rolls through Hillsdale Yard, as seen from behind the Kibri Apartments.
 The traditional view from the yard.
 PN70 is stopping for a crew change today.
While the train is stopped, we get a look at some of the other cars in the yard, including a loaded center-beam bulkhead flatcar and a kaolin tank car, with a string of boxcars behind them.
The crew change done, PN70 moves on, as several members of the yard crew stay trackside to perform the run-by inspection. And with a trio of 4400hp engines on the point, there will be a lot of train to watch! ..(hint, hint!)
