PHOTOS: 2-1/2 Hours

Posted by kp5308 on Wed Apr 29 14:18:56 2020

We start at 8:03AM at the South Willow St. crossing in Fleetwood PA with a westbound led by a torched GE. Note the shop ain't even putting the doors back on correctly. This wasn't tolerated when Wick Moorman ran the show:


Followed immediately by an eastbound bare table train:


AT CP BELT in Muhlenberg Township a new photo location with good morning light! NS has been aggressively taking down major foliage all the way to the ground at various locations in the Reading area. Another burned GE leads:


Major track work is scheduled for the junction this summer:


Another empty tank train going to the Reading & Northern waits on the PA Route 61 overpass for the Hi-railer to set off:


Passing through the interlocking to access the R&N at North Reading:


And onto the tangent to drop the cars. Pairs of RBMN SD50s have been doing the consist assembly & movement to storage locations all over the railroad:


This string of cans is owned by Greenbrier Leasing Corp. and are not even a year old. They are top of the line crude oil cars that carry 29070 gallons when fully loaded:


All tank cars in oil service are required to carry this information stencil on the B (brake wheel) end of the car for inspection reference:


The SD50s ran around the train and head to the yard to start working:


Followed by the NS power which will run light back through CP BELT to Reading Yard and tie up. Time stamp reads 10:28AM 4-28-2020. The extra 5 minuets was the drive from our house to the first stop:

Surprised that tank cars aren't being used for crude oil storage given the market.

The liability insurance premium difference for storing loaded vs. empty tanks is, to put it mildly, considerable...if you can find it.
