A local train came through Vicksburg after 8:00 P.M.. The train crew stopped to pick-up an empty covered hopper at the Harborlite Perlite Plant. When they picked-up the ACF Center Flow 3-bay covered hopper with SD40-2 GTW 5932 , refilled the brake air lines, and proceeded, I discovered that the DuPont Norfolk Southern Safety Train and the CN 911 safety training tank car were at the end of the train.

 

They are headed WEST on the Grand Trunk Western/Canadian National mainline in the South Bend subdivision.

 

I took some images of them, but the light was very dim, so they are blurry.

 

If you are in the Indiana or Illinois area, watch for the Safety Train car on an industrial siding or in a train.

 

 Thanks for the tanks.
