RR Yet another of many shortline railroads I visited in Dec 68. This one support a textile plant. The CTC had three of the GEs, all of which were underpowered for the freight business that had developed, so they subsequently acquired an SW1 and an SW9. I took in the Ivy City engine terminal, Washington, DC in March 1977.
Color is dark blue with white striping.
From what I heard at the time, it was used to shuttle crew members between the Ivy City engine terminal and the Washington Union passenger terminal. WT must have purchased this car from the PC, but I do not know when. They haul a high grade silica from a mine in Gore in covered hoppers. They started out with Alco's and now use GP-9's. Still another of the shortline I photographed in Dec 68.
