Empty hopper train south
Subject
Steam Freight Train
Description
Most of the New York Central's Pennsylvania Division runs are coal drags going north and empties returning south, though there is a considerable amount of miscellaneous freight interchanged with the Reading at Newberry,Pa. Above is a typical southbound drag of 98 empty hoppers on the upgrade between Himrod Junction and Dundee, N.Y., with 4-8-2 no.2609 as the road engine. Mine-tipples which fill these cars are mostly in the Clearfield district of Pennsylvania.
