IN THE YARDS PT38

Another look around Hillsdale Yard...

Brad, the security guard, and Dale Williams, day-shift supervisor, discuss security issues in and around Hillsdale Yard.

Several of the men are gathered, awaiting the arrival of GM407, which will be making a crew change before heading on to Baltimore.

A tank car sits in the shop for a a brake shoe replacement.

 Sam, Earl, and Robert talk outside the shop on break.

One of the newest work trucks sits outside the shop as well. With its small crane, the truck is perfect for light duty work in and around the yard, including repair/replacement of switch stands, crossing signals, and the battery boxes that power both crossing and lineside signals. While not equipped with the equipment now, in the future this truck will have both a compressor and an electric welder to help facilitate those repair efforts.
