M1795 PT 2

 Last week, Manifest M1795 entered town. Now, more of the train...

Behind the Schnabel car is a Union Pacific boxcar (with Western Pacific reporting marks) and a set of tank cars, including one with a load of highly corrosive anhydrous hydrogen fluoride -hence the orange band.
A string of empty ADM hoppers headed back west.
Even a pair of empty auto racks are in the train!
A number of modern 60' high cube boxcars are also in the train. These are owned by TTX/Railbox.
More covered hoppers, including this one for the Milwaukee, Racine & Troy -the club layout of Model Railroader Magazine.
A set of 42' coil cars, lettered for AP&W subsidiary CHTT (Chicago Heights Terminal & Transfer). These were purchased second-hand from an equipment dealer.
A 50' high cube boxcar owned by AOK (Arkansas-Oklahoma), followed by an empty centerbeam bulkhead flatcar.
Another pair of 60' high cubes. The first one is an ex-UP car; it is now owned by TTX.
A set of empty TTX 60' bulkhead flats.
The head end is just now leaving town! And there's more train to come!
See you next week.
