What road is the third unit and what is on that bulkhead flat?

What road is the third unit and what is on that bulkhead flat?

Third unit is CP and the load is aluminum rods.

That's what I thought with the engine but the load was hard to see. The netting was throwing me off.

CSX has been running Gettysburg & Northern and YorkRail interchange traffic from Hagerstown  on Sundays lately, and returning back to Hagerstown lite.  I was able to catch them this weekend, and record it this time.  Last week, I though I was recording but apparently hit the stop button just before the train came into view.

A couple taken earlier this week....Former Victorian Railways C class locos (basically an SD-40) C510 C506 C504 C509 C507, now owned by my employer Southern Shorthaul Railroad, seen near Mallala, South Australia, with 42 loaded BGTY grain hoppers in tow forming train #5506S Bowmans to Two Wells grain shuttle.

At Two Wells they will be combined with a further 59 hoppers to create a 101 wagon, 8000 tonne plus train (that is very big by Australian standards outside of the iron ore roads) that will then head off to New South Wales.

Tell us about that lower track !

Tell us about that lower track !

It does look like 'narrow gauge gone wild', but is in fact heavier rail that has been dropped trackside and is waiting to replace the lighter, life expired rail the train is travelling on,

[MK]

Wow, can heavy iron bend like that on it's own over time?   

[davefoxx]

The heavy rail in the picture is foreshortened, so it's not quite as wavy as it appears.

Just seeing if anyone is paying attention
