Lime Train

[CPF363]

Last evening, a lime train came up the Worcester Line from the P&W. It had a lease SD60 GATX unit leading a P&W unit and some 30 or so cars. Does anyone know where its destination is/was?

It was carrying limes, the fruit? Or it was painted a lime green color?

Limes ARE delicious, though.

"Lime" would not be limestone. Lime is the name for the oxide of calcium, CaO.

There's a thread on the CSX forum about the Tropicana trains, so mebbe we can follow fruit -- sorry, suit -- about the lime trains?

To this point, Lime is usually in a powdered form at this point, in either hoppers or possibly bagged/palletized in a box car.

Dammit, you stole my joke.


I do recall the girl in my chemistry class who asked the teacher why we kept learning about lime, but never lemon.

Did the Chem teacher say he had taken the lemon pledge?

Particularly when sliced up and bobbing in a glass of Ice, Gin and Tonic Water.......
