YARD ACTION PT 1

Last week, we saw engine 3163 and her crew, Sam and Jim, preparing to leave Hillsdale Yard for a trip out to Dale City. Let's watch as they return...

As they arrive with DCL9 (Dale City Local), Jim is on the steps preparing to step down, while Chris radios their arrival with the yard master.

Gondola loads of pipe from Wilson Steel head up the train, along with these boxcars picked up from the paper mill on the way back from Dale City.

There is also a string of empty tank cars from City Fizz.

After the tank cars, two big cryogenic reefers from Johnson Foods.

Last up are a string of empty ethanol tank cars from Farmingdale Ethanol; the crew was real busy this morning!

A look at one of the pipe loads in the three gondolas from Wilson Steel. Next week we'll watch as this train gets broken up in the yard and has several of its cars switched out.
