Description: |
This train is bound for Solvay with cement hoppers. They're practically right on the tail of another local train, the Y221. When this train enters the mainline and clears the north-runner, the B769 will enter Dewitt yard after waiting an hour and a half. |

With car #5403 set out on the main, the crew still has more shuffling around to do before I have to leave. I would have loved to hang around and watch them finish the job and follow them back to Baldwinsville, NY. I've been trying for a long time to catch these guys here and document the operation, but until today I was unlucky. Birds Eye says that they're closing this facility within the next year or so, and I've also heard that as a result CSX might "cut the line back" to Baldwinsville.......Bummer! |
