Recent railroad action….

 

In this most recent railfan outing we again catch GP7 5628 switching the usual industries along the Ohio. First thing we caught the crew doing was swapping out a Chessie and B&O gondola from Paxton-Sullivan scrapyard for a PC gondola and rusted Railgon as seen below:

Next up we see the local swapping out the PC reefer at Stephen’s Grocery for the Southern reefer that was on the team track off spot, then the crew picked up the HLMX boxcar at the team track dock. Next up came spotting the 50’ft Southern boxcar at Armitage Furniture:

And sometimes the gremlins get you as we ran out of film at this point and didn’t have another roll in the camera bag. By the time we returned with another roll ready to go night had fallen but we were still able to see the crew spot a Milwaukee boxcar on the team track dock and a TASD boxcar at the off spot:

We that we called it a day. Rumor from the crew has it that they’ll soon be using an NW2 switch engine out of Riverside yard as their geep goes to Sharon yard up north s bit for its inspection! Hopefully if so we’ll catch that locomotive next time….
