Weekly Photo Fun 7/11 - 7/17/14 - bdw9535 - 07-11-2014

Caught up with WPMA-29 as it had just arrived to work the Absecon Mills Flour Plant. Here's some shots of them switching.

They complete the switching and recouple to 9506, the conductor then walks back to 9608 and after a short time they depart.

Blame it on my early morning eyes! Coffee...needed coffee. Now that I look again I see the chutes under the cars....I think my one lonely RI boxcar may have affected my perceptions....

Some shots from Maywood NJ along the NYS&W. Both of these shots are from the former Maywood chemical plant, now a superfund site that I was working last week.

Here's a cut of tank cars being unloaded near the south end of the plant.    

This track is for loading the gons to be filled with contaminated material as part of the ongoing cleanup here. The large structure above the cars is there to provide fall protection for the laboriours that fill the cars. They attach harnesses to the steel work that will stop them from hitting the ground if one of them should fall of the railcar. On the left is the "dirty "dirt that will be loaded for shipment to a processing plant where it will be incinerated. All the cars are empty in this shot as the Suzy Q dropped them on the loading track the night before. The NYS&W main is just to the right of the fence.
