DALE CITY AND BACK PT2

DC11, the Dale City local has returned to Hillsdale...

The return trip from Wilson Steel Works brings both the previously seen steel coil cars and this "finger-rack" flatcar, with a load of rebar. Note GEX 2015, the original ET44AC, in the background.

Next, an empty tank car that was carrying hydrochloric acid. The contents were used to remove rust from to-be-recycled steel.

DC11 also stopped by Johnson Foods, and picked up a pair of empty reefers, for return back to Washington state for re-loading.

Cold Train ships alot of produce out of Washington. They also used to ship by container, but BNSF's inability to keep up with Cold Train's schedules ended that action.

The final freight car is another empty picked up from Johnson Foods; an empty vegetable oil tank car. Vegetable oil is heavily used in processed foods, and during busy periods it is not uncommon to see a string of vegetable tankers headed to -or from- Johnson Foods.
