Train FEL31, the Farmingdale Ethanol train, is returning from Farmingdale on its way back to Uniontown...
The cloud has passed, and the lead unit is highlighted by the sun.
An unidentified AC4400 is the trailing unit.
The head-end is loaded hoppers of DDG (Dried Distillers Grain) pellets. DDGs are a byproduct of the ethanol production process, and are are commonly used for animal feed, hence the trip west -where the "beef" is raised!
Next week, a look at the cars in the train.
