PASSING TRAINS PT 15; M1795 PT 1

 It's time for another long train to pass through Hillsdale!

Manifest M1795, the east-bound Baltimore-Cleveland freight, enters the Hillsdale Yard limits.

The train is led by ET44AC demonstrator GECX 2032.

Trailing is another ET44AC; Scale Trains 2017.

And to make sure that you know that this is a model train, the two engines are followed by track cleaning car X1068. This is a Walthers car that was originally decorated for Amtrak. I stripped the lettering, removed the roofwalk, and added decals to make a more modern car.

The Schnabel car seen last month is now returning back home, having delivered its load.

While the inside overhang is not as severe without a load, it is still an issue; careful scheduling is required to minimize interference with opposing trains on inside curves.

M1795 rolls through as yard crew members watch.

The massive Schnabel car is highlighted in this shot.

The head end exits the yard, past several gons loaded with scrap metal for Wilson Steel.

There are plenty of cars left to go in the train -stay tuned!
