As the Turn slows to work the spur to Booms Ready Mix, it is met by VW-6, running from Selkirk to Weehawken.
While VW-6 rolls by, the Turn's crew prepares to pick up the white A.P.R.R. 50' RBL car seen to the left at Reynolds and set out the TP&W car at Booms Ready mix.
...and couple it onto the train.
A repeated back up move with the TP&W car spots it at Booms Ready mix...
After the set-out the train reconnects itself and heads on...
The Turn is later seen running through Kings Port station and meeting a short oil train headed by GP9 #7175
Passing by Hedberg Aggregates at the summit of the Kings Port Division in Marion. Those two 38' hoppers will be picked up on the way back.
Approaching Williams Yard in Kings Port.....
...where the Turn will drop off some cars and pick up others for the return trip to West Mill. Cars for Blue Ribbon Flour will also be set out, but we'll catch that action in the next installment.
Thanks for looking!

Nice work Ralph! I enjoyed the action and the meets. The RSD12s crossing the Pennsylvania bridge is a great shot with some irony as well. Nicely composed!
ReplyDeleteGreat report and photos of the action. I especially liked the shot of the oil train. Thanks
