ONCT SW-9 #718 departed the engine house around Noon today, with teo emtoes- one covered hopper (fropm Victor Insulators) and one lumber car (from Victor Coal & Lumber). The train proceeded east to Manchester, pausing briefly for the crew's lunch around 1:15PM. Interchanged with FGLK (led by B23-7 #2301) at Shortsville shortly after 2PM. Ths was difficult to observe (due yo trees!) but the empties were exchanged for two loaded lumber cars- one with lumber for Ryan Homes in Farmington and the other for a customer in Victor. The westbound ONCT departed Shortsville around 3:15PM and arrived back in Victor shortly after 4:00PM. An nice day's work by Don and Marianne!
NOTE: I have extensive photos of the trip and will probably post them on Luther's LAL website. This includes a few shots of the train passing thru the ex-LV yard at Manchester. Four rolls of film were consumed today!
