The massive transformer load has spent the night in Hillsdale Yard. Now, initial preparations are being made to continue it's journey to the Port of Baltimore.
After the train parked and freed up the main line, a parade of delayed trains passed through town; including this eastbound KC-T35 intermodal. Other priority trains were re-routed over NS and CSX rails between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia; KC-T35 was already running late.
In the morning, the train's operating crew arrived from the hotel in this retired school bus. Note the markings have been removed, and the warning lights have been painted over.
Mark Davis walks along the train to make sure everything is ready to go.
The Hillsdale Yard crew also looks over the train as they make preparations for its departure. Note the sheer size of the transformer compared to the men and the truck!
Also making preparations are the operating crew of the train. Here they go over the details of the impending departure. Alot of work goes into moving a 250 ton transformer halfway across the country!
