DCL9 PT1

Now that the grain train has finally passed, the local can continue on...

The brakeman  has climbed back on, and now borrowed CN 5289 begins again on its way to Uniontown with DCL9.

The head-end is full of UP reefers. The ARMN reporting marks were inherited when the UP  merged with the MoPac in 1982, but weren't used until around 2000 when the UP began rebuilding .older reefers and acquiring new ones.

The train -and its big reefers- rolls through Hillsdale Yard as Chris watches for any issues with the cars.

This car has the typical graffiti that most of the nation's freight car fleet has now a days. And this is 'lightly tagged'.

More clean cars in the mix. Like most railfans, I hate the widespread appearance of graffiti on rail equipment; it is vandalism, plain and simple!
The end of the train next week...
