PASSING TRAINS PT38, PITT29 PT1

With the coming of fall, the seasonal reefer traffic is rolling in priority freights, as the upcoming holiday season looms...

Train PITT29, the priority freight between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, rolls into town.

Since these trains are generally short, the 5000hp of a single SD80MAC is capable of handling them. The engine is trailed by a string of Union Pacific reefers headed back west for reloading with perishables.

Many suffer from being "tagged" by graffiti "artists".

Not all the reefers are UP. Here is a CEFX car, showing accumulated grime from years of service. 

Another CEFX car, with graffiti.

Several tankers for vegetable oil are also in the consist.

Two cars are owned by ADM.
