A Good Day on the Homestead Sub

I like it when O721 has freight for more than one customer. It gives the train variety and connotes a good sign to the economy. While these cars don't reflect the Homestead area proper, they do represent customers on the upper end. It was a pleasant surprise to see plastics hoppers on this one as I don't usually get to see them the days they work Seal-Tite.
Yesterday the train was fronted by 26 and 817 with 2 from Seal-Tite, 3 hoppers and one tank for Orr (my first catch of tanks on the road), TEN cement hoppers for Yelvington, and the rest empty rock.

In  the video as well before O721 is Friday's FEC 101. This train had 11,350' and a bunch of empty rock on the bottom. That is long for its size but its average is only 8950'. More on the FEC in a later entry.
