Are these being used for garbage or construction debris?
It seems to me that they were using at least one of these cars to clean up the mess made at the end of the line when the crossing came out.
72 was the yard engine and also made a trip to the grain elevator, whose name escapes me (not Howells), on the Livonia stub.
Lakeville PACMA. Howletts is in Avon.
432 was up on jacks while work was being performed on the trucks. The springs have arrived!
Springs got here last year sometime but it is a good thing the work is being performed. This engine has generated zero tractive effort and zero horsepower for too long. It'll be nice to have another one back on the road.
B&H 422 and LAL 423 had 66, yes 66, cars northbound out of Painted Post today at approximately 3:45 pm. All but one were LPG cars. By Coopers Plains at 4:00 pm. They had 21 cars on the southbound trip, if I counted correctly.
Business is always a good thing.
Now to diversify said business.
It was a beautiful day to photograph trains in central New York today.

And I was at work all day. Care to share the photos?
