Avon rail yard action 4/8/2008

I caught the southbound train yesterday afternoon arriving in Avon, at Barilla Dr.


#425 and #420About to reach the yard limit.

There was a large cut of cars for Barilla that they dropped, surely ten or more cars. Then dropped some more covered hopper cars further down in the yard on the new westside siding. #425 and #420 are pulling down by the newly installed switch so they could back the cars in.


#425 and #420 pulling a cut of tank cars for spotting onto track 2, they pass a parked carload of telephone poles on Track 3

After dropping the tank cars #425 and #420 are back on the main and backing down past the Former Avon Station, Duffy's Tavern.

and the front of #425 after it backs by me.


From here they went back and hooked onto the Lakeville bound cars and headed south out of town.

You can see the rest of the shots I have taken by clicking on the picture below:
