Eastern Railroad Discussion > Out and About ..... 11 March 2023

1) Our Saturday starts with L104-10 coming west with 2 cars of plastic pellets for the Sealed Air Facility in Keyser, WV. L104 and L105 are Cumberland, MD based Yard Jobs that have "Expanded Territory" that includes Keyser, WV.

Due to a drag tied down at Beall Street in Cumberland, L104 came west on track 1 and crossed over to track 2 at Keyser. Photo here shows L104 shoving back east towards the Keyser Industrial Park.

2) L104-10 in the Keyser Industrial Park swamping the loads for empties.

3) L165-10 (Cumberland, MD to Grafton, WV Local) westbound on Bull Neck Curve at the Keyser Industrial Park.

Thank you Tim for all the great photos keeping us well informed of trains on both the old B&O and Western Maryland lines.  I'm glad that you and your son had a great day.  Your photos are always appreciated.
