HRRC Hawleyville MOW work April 11 & 16, 2001

Here are a series of photos of various activities involved with the installation of the Hawleyville Transload Center currently under construction. The photos shows ballast being collected from the former Track 2 of the Maybrook line in Newtown, the loading of difco dump cars, the new HRRC ballast truck, and Work Extra in various locations. For those who are unable to be on site, enjoy!

HRRC Work Train loading stone 4/11/01 HRRC Work Train unloading stone at Hawleyville. 4/11/01 HRRC Work Train loading stone 4/16/01 Train is now powered by GP-35 3600.

HRRC Work Train with GP35 3600 takes the Shepaug Relad siding so NX-11 can pass westbound. NX-11 4/16/01

After NX-11 passes, Work Train retakes the Maybrook Main.

Three Difco dump cars. Two borrowed from Metro North and one HRRC. Notice the yellow HRRC has yet to be tagged. Work Train heads west to be loaded with ballast.

At Berkshire Junction, the Ballast Truck waited for west bound NX-11 to clear the Berkshire junction, going north. Then the truck was given permission to go east to the Hawleyville work site. Note the truck is going in reverse - east. Behind (ahead) of the truck is a work car with rail piled on it. The Truck is now at Hawleyville. It will put the car with rail on the new siding for the night and then clear up for the night.

The truck now comes down to the crossing to come off the rail and head back north to Canaan.

Stopped to lift the "rail wheels" Now it's time to turn off!

The Work Train unloaded ballast and waited for the Truck to clear. Cleared, the Work Train now moves west. 4/16/01
