PASSING TRAINS PT53, (1)

Train NP71 rolls into Hillsdsle behind a pair of AC4400's.

As the train passes through Hillsdale Yard, a string of two bay covered hoppers is seen on the head end,

Returning from the Northeast, these cars carry everything from sand to cement, roofing granules and lime. Note the pair of pink Halliburton hoppers -they really stand out among their grey counterparts!

Still more hoppers! Some of these cars also carry corn syrup solids -used in McGriddles!

A well-worn pair of three-bay hoppers.

A Winchester & Western hopper. a carbon black hopper, and a tank car for hydrochloric acid (hence the brown band).
