PASSING TRAINS PT 41; DCCWCO119 PT 2

 Last  week, we saw DCCWCO119, the D.C.-Cumberland-Wheeling-Columbus, Oh. manifest, enter town. This week, more of the train...

A pair of PROCOR tank cars, returning empty to Ohio, where they'll be routed to Detroit for return to Canada via the Canadian Pacific.
Also returning to Canada are these two CN boxcars, having just delivered two loads of lumber to a customer in Baltimore.
Between empty 60' boxcars is a empty tank car that carried anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, a highly corrosive cargo used in making polymers and petrochemicals. A BNSF boxcar follows.
A string of empty plastic pellet cars. XOMX is the reporting mark of Exxon Mobil.
A short string of  tank cars, loaded with solvents.
More 60' TBOX cars. Note that 664434 is a newer "grid side" car, while 662066 is the older "ribbed side" style of car.
Empty kaolin tank cars returning from Northeast paper mills.
An empty VTTX flatcar. TTX removed the decks from surplus 60' flatcars and added container pedestals to create these container-only cars in the late 80's.
TBOX 664444 is another "grid side" boxcar. TTX began purchasing these cars in 2016, and now have thousands in service.
TBOX 661025 represents the older style of TBOX cars, with traditional side posts and old TTX logo.

The rest of DCCWCO119 next week.
