Micro-trains for April 2022

[Ed Kapuscinski]

They would be on the High Line in Philadelphia hauling coke for USS from Clariton to Fairless.  I do not recall the Conrail train symbol, maybe USF.  There is a photo of this train in the Conrail Commodities book, in the Coal section.  If they were hauling ore, I would think it would be train ZSR, unit iron ore Philadelphia Greenwich Pier to South Rankin (USS Edgar Thompson Plant Braddock, PA - a mile or so south of Rankin).  That was a sight to see going west over the mountain.  16000 ton iron ore train versus 1.85% grade.  48 traction motors in eight six axil locomotives.  Music to my ears.  Thanks.

Not to steal anything MTL but didn't Atlas do a run of the black/blue BLE cars ?  Am I dreaming ? 

Of course, MTL would knock them out of the water with the weathering effects
