Greetings and welcome to P.C.C.M. 58G. We pick up the westbound leg of P.C.C.M. 58 rolling across the Indiana countryside heading towards Chicago and points west.
Our lead unit is Penn Central SD38 #6934. The Penn Central typically used their SD38's in Hump Yard and transfer service. The Mechanical Department decided to blow the carbon out of the prime movers on these yard units and send them on a train west to Chicago. This is their P.C.C.M. debut.
Penn Central SD38 #6958 is the second unit of our Chicago bound consist. Rolling through Indiana.
From Cavendish Fine Spirits and Foods, we have a hopper car full of Wort pellets being sent to Denver Union Stockyards as livestock feed. Nothing finer than Cavendish Wort pellets.
Loaded with cement flux from the GERN plant in West Mill, NY. This covered hopper is headed to the GERN facility in Arvada, CO. It will make the cement production at least 3% better overall.
