The NS Boat Line Job set off their boxcar for Evans at Green St, then shoved the Covered Hoppers onto Zug Island.

The Conrail LV-35 shoved back toward Livernois after working the Junction Runner. Currently the Conrail Bay Window Caboose is used as the shove platform.

The cars were left near CP Lou, and the engine went back to the yard office, passing CSX I131 with Union Pacific engines.

I enjoy your trip reports CRD

Nice report, I enjoyed the caboose shots.

Thank you for this trip report! The overcast skies feel just about right for a gritty industrial chase along the Boat Yard Line and by Livernois.

Is CSX’s only customer on the boat yard line the Transflow terminal down at Rosa Parks? Also, I didn’t realize NS went into Zug with less than a Coke train. I thought smaller interchanges were accomplished on that run around visible in photo #4.

I didn’t relive That Conrail caboose was still hanging around and getting some use. Great to see. I’m surprised it doesn’t have more graffiti. I wonder why LV35 would leave their train in that spot?

Thanks for sharing!

Follow up thought after I opened these photos on an actual computer on Flickr, I had no idea the old #2 main is still stick rail! It's clearly visible in that last photo with I131.

The Transflow and Delray Connecting Interchange seem to be the only active customers for CSX.

There have been no reports of the Produce Terminal receiving cars in years.
