DEMO GOES TO WORK PT2
Last week, we saw the new NRE genset unit leave town with HLP20 going to Pete's Plastics. Now, she returns. (The trip really didn't take a week, I swear!)
Now returning with HLP21, NREX 2009 comes to a stop with 3 loads and 8 empties -including an empty cement car picked up from Hillsdale Ready Mix.
The reason the train is stopped on the westbound tracks soon becomes evident; C-DB 47, a Chicago-D.C./Baltimore intermodal is passing through.
While the train is an APW priority train, NS pool power frequently shows up -the two railroads have recently begun teaming up on numerous routes, leading to speculation that a merger may be in the future.
