Amfleet cars on #30
Author: gmo1111

Over the last few days as seen on the Sand Patch camera, #30 has been carrying some Amfleet cars at the head end. Does anyone know if these are just normal maintenance moves or rebuilds from Beech Grove?

Beech Grove doesn't do Amfleet. Either California or Chicago based cars cycled to Bear, DE

The Amfleet cars you're seeing on #30 are cars being cycled back to Bear Delaware for their annual inspections and tear downs. All operating equipment have dates which must be adhered to. Beech Grove and Chicago are not set up for this work on these cars.

When Amfleet cars go back west, are they the same exact cars that came east, or do these arrivals simply get blended in with the NE fleet when returned to service ?

Yes and no depending on requirements in Chicago.
