PASSING TRAINS PT43; OM518

Another oil train rolls through town...

Train OM518, the Baltimore-Chicago unit oil train, rolls under the bridge, led by a pair of leased SD70M-2's.

The "buffer car" is an old Airslide hopper, still in baby blue.

The tank cars are split between VMSX and TILX; VMSX is the reporting mark for Valero Marketing, while TILX is the reporting mark for Trinity Leasing. All cars are the newer design, with end safety shields for extra protection in derailments.

Once again, another train is waiting for clearance to proceed. This is KCT35, the Kansas City-Trenton, NJ. piggyback train.

OM518 rolls through the yard; note the bulkhead flats, loaded with removed ties.

More loaded flats are seen here as OM518 passes the waiting train.

The last tank car is VMSX 310015.

And the last car is AP 64011, the buffer car on the rear.Next week, KCT35 will be cleared for movement, stay tuned!
