PASSING TRAINS PT3

GECP-91; a Cumberland-Pittsburgh grain extra; rolls through the yard with empty hoppers returning to the mid-west.

The second unit, AC4400 8900, has the new logo.

GE-built AC4400's are the predominant power in the area; they are also frequently seen on CSX's ex-B&O line in southern Pennsylvania. 8919 and 8900 are 2002 graduates of Erie,  Pa. (GE's locomotive plant) and are two of 600 purchased by the AP&W during the model's 10 1/2 yr domestic production run.

Brad watches the train roll past. He, too, is a model railroader; think he enjoys his job most days?

The new logo is now on this covered hopper. Unfortunately, so is some graffiti.

This car also has the new logo -and is still "clean".

Near the end of the train, are these dirty hoppers, owned by The Andersons. Started in 1947 by Harold Anderson and his family in central Ohio to serve local farmers, today the company has its hands in grain, ethanol, rail shipping (with thousands of rail cars) and various other plant specialties. Like most of the other cars in this train, these hoppers were unloaded at one of the East Coast ports for export overseas.
