Richland railroading in the morning
Author: Roadrailer

While heading to work before daylight Thursday I noted another unit feed train had arrived the north Richland,WA facility, but couldn't make out the railroad. A fellow railfan commented later in the day it was a CP/UP grainer with an NS unit stuck in for good measure. The locomotive mix complimented the mishmash of hoppers. 

A few more...

As I was about to leave, the Tri City RR crew arrived to perform the morning switching duties at Preffered Freezer Services
TCRY has spent its entire life in Richland, first with the Dept of Energy.

About 7 years ago, the TCRY bought several used SD40-2 from the UP auction. Four had been previously painted in their red/white/blue scheme. 
#37 is their latest rebuild and their only Tunnel motor, former DGRW 5399.

Here's a couple of shots of TCRY power at Vallejo, CA, when they had the contract to switch at the former Mare Island Navy Yard. SD9 #25 was taken in 10-2011, while SD40-2 #33 was in 08-2013.

The TCRY 25 is no longer on their roster, thankfully the other regional railroad CBRW bought it and it's in service albeit with a chopped nose.
