PASSING TRAINS PT 40; OM519

 Two special units make a return trip through Hillsdale...

ET44AC 530 is back, with a friend.

Scale Trains ES44AC 2022 is making her way back west, on her second revenue trip. The two are leading OM519, the westbound oil train from Baltimore to Chicago, where it will be handed off to the BNSF.

Even though the tank cars are empty, there is still a buffer car on the head end.

The tank cars are all VMSX (Valero Marketing) owned.

The pair of GE's roll past downtown.

OM519 stretches through the yard. During the Bakken oil boom from 2015-2020, this train was a tri-weekly run. Now, it only runs once a week.

More VMSX "oil cans".

Another APW hopper serves as the rear-end buffer car. Unlike the first car, this one lacks the "star" logo. While there is often a BNSF hopper in the train, this one is "all AP&W."

The EOT flashes to signal the end of yet another train.
