PASSING TRAINS PT44; NP71 PT1

 NP71, the eastbound manifest between NYC and Pittsburgh, rolls into town...

Leading on this Memorial Day is ET44AC 531, the POWMIA unit.

Ex-GECX ET44AC 2032 -the Veteran's Unit- is in the yard, making this a special day for the Hillsdale Yard crew!

A pair of loaded plastic pellet hoppers are on the head end.

A pair of boxcars loaded with paper products.

A potash hopper and a chemical tank car. Both are empty, like most of the cars in the train.

A pair of reefers returning to the Midwest.  These are former CEFX cars; now owned by Cedar Grove Logistics, the "E" has been replaced by a "G" in the reporting marks.

A pair of empty autoracks, one owned by the Utah Central, the other by BNSF.

A boxcar and a tank car carrying anhydrous hydrogen fluoride.

An empty VTTX flatcar and a string of boxcars.

More of NP71 next week, until then...

Enjoy your Memorial Day!
