IN THE YARDS PT 16

 

A company Caterpillar CT660 sits with a CAT 320D excavator load. While the CT series were good trucks, they didn't sell well, and production ended in 2016. This one was still going strong in 2020.

The mail shows up at the main office. (Thank you Walthers for making this vehicle!) Note the pickup with the Bud Light tailgate wrap, and the one right beside it with the roll bar and ATV in the bed.

HTTX 90117 is loaded with a pair of movie prop vehicles. They will be used in an as-yet-unnamed action movie, reportedly starring Dwane Johnson. (Actually, a pair of Hot Wheels T-Rex Transports that caught my eye. They make a fun load for a flatcar!)

GP40 50 has returned from Wilson Steel Works with loads of steel coil.

Several gons of open coils are on the head end.

Followed by a string of US Steel coil cars carrying more coiled steel. With the AP&W serving several appliance factories as well as a number of auto plants, a lot of steel coils travel the system.

EEC (East Erie Commercial) 5673 shows off its rusty roof and faded paint. Cars like this often show up loaded with baled paper/cardboard for recycling at the paper mill.
