MIXED LOCAL

On a slow day, a local train pulls in with several loads from several customers...

Rolling in long hood first, SD40 3163 pulls into town, with Bill on the steps. "Officially", this is DCL9, the Johnson Foods local. But a look at the front end shows several loads from Wilson Steel.

Two gondolas are loaded with structural steel sections.

Three tank cars are part of the actual pick-up from Johnson Foods; they brought in vegetable oil.

These two boxcars also came from Johnson Foods; they are loaded with boxed goods.

The final three tank cars are empty corn syrup cars from City Fizz.

The train pulls into the yard. Soon, the switching will begin. Meanwhile, the Gen-Set sitting in the foreground will be at work soon pulling a brand new local for a brand new customer! Stay tuned...
