Another work day as our crew along with the help of the local crew on GP7 5628, gets to work switching the industrial area in Sedamsville and Addyston.
Today our crew is myself as brakeman, Jimmy as conductor, and Fred as engineer as we fire up 8806. Today we need to pull an empty reefer from Stephen’s and an empty Cotton Belt boxcar from the team track, while the crew on 5628 will pull two scrap gons from Sullivan scrap and spot two.
Our inbound cars are an all door boxcar of lumber for Armitage Furniture, an EEC boxcar for the team track, and a PC reefer for Stephen’s. Photos below show our part of the switching work:
With our work completed, 5628 and crew do their part switching out Sullivan scrap:
That’s it for today’s work! Stay tuned as Monsanto Chemical comes back from their annual maintenance shutdown with what looks like a boat load of tank cars….
