Sears Lead
Title:  Sears Lead
Description:  Right after the V060 cleared the wye at CP 291, I heard dispatch talking with the crew on a DeWitt yard job. They were talkin' about having to get to the Sears lead, I've heard this before and knew that they were going to 84 Lumber.........why they call it the Sears lead I don't know. So here's the Y111 about to make a hook on an empty box car.

Y111
Title:  Y111
Description:  Since I started working a Tuesday through Saturday schedule, Mondays have been freed up to catch movements that would be unlikely to happen on weekends. After checking the situation at Woodard I decided to move on to Syracuse in hopes of catching this train. Talk on the radio indicated that they were looking for track east of CP285 which means only one thing: they're going to 84 Lumber. They left the yard with a loaded lumber car, a box car, and three tanks. In this frame we see that they cut away from the three tanks and are headed straight for Bridge Street with the loads for 84 Lumber.

The stadium seen here is home to the Syracuse Chiefs baseball team.
