FEL30

 Train FEL30, the ethanol train out of Uniontown passes through Hillsdale on its way to Farmingdale...

ET44AC 500, the Breast Cancer unit, leads today's train.

Farmingdale Ethanol Co. is an ADM-owned facility, so most of the hoppers are ADM-owned as well. These are Evans 4780 cuft. cars.

More ADM hoppers, this time NSC-built 5150 cuft. cars. Note that all of the cars have the newer "Leaf" logo.

The last car of grain is CGW 7801, a Trinity 5150 cuft. car. This is a Heritage car, celebrating the Chicago Great Western, which the APRR acquired in 1968 -much to the chagrin of the C&NW!

Another ADM car, this time a tank car, follows CGW 7801, with a string of ex-crude oil cars behind it.

With the decline in crude oil shipments during the end of 2019 and throughout 2020, many of these cars were re-assigned to other cargoes, with ethanol being one of them.

ADMX 28589 does not have the ADM logo, but does have plenty of large graffiti "scribbles" on the side. PPRX 660178 behind it is carrying gasoline, used to make the ethanol unfit for human consumption.

Four more covered hoppers bring up the rear, including three more ADM cars, and an ex-Penn Central car, now owned by Caldwell- Baker.

Another look at CGW 7801.
