This morning we arrived at Lakeville around 7 AM. All enginehouse bay doors were open presenting a view of all engines currently at Lakeville.
The road power today was 425 and 420. 420 in the lead northbound and 425 in the lead southbound. The train started from the end of the Line (ADM) picking up two tracks worth of cars down at ADM. Customers switched included Kraft, Howlett Farms, and Matthews & Fields Lumber. Avon Yard was switched on both the northbound trip and the southbound trip.
At Genesee Junction, the train took a trip down the R& S line to Brooks Ave Yard. Several hours later, after switching M&F Lumber, 425 & 420 headed south with a string of at least 12 BNSF grain hoppers and a mix of MCP, Cargill, and GATX loaded corn syrup tanks.
Lakeville yard switcher was 72.
