The Amtrak trains going in and out of GCT will be locomotive double ended.
My daily trip to and from work takes me past what I think are two of the most active freight sidings on MN: Endico Foods in Mount Vernon and Tulnoy Lumber in The Bronx.
Yesterday I saw something I haven't seen before. There were a couple of UPFE reefers on the Endico siding, as usual. But when we passed Tulnoy I saw another white UPFE reefer on their siding, coupled to one of the faded yellow RBOX boxcars they get with lumber/drywall/whatever loads. It looked like there was a trainman on the ground doing something to the coupler of the UPFE reefer but I didn't see a CSX engine anywhere.
Anybody know what could have been going on?
