Taken to the Cleaners

A little orange 25 tonner leased by now defunct United States Rail, shoves and pulls lines of tank cars at Waycross Redi-Mix. A crew of tank car cleaners cleans out each tank car meticulously.

This parcel was originally ‘The Hebard Cypress Company’ with a planing mill south of the plant.

Be sure to check out page 28 for the original plans here- dlg.usg.edu/iiif-viewer?manifest=https://dlg.usg.edu/reco...

 

Now 8 years later the little orange critter has been replaced by a dull grey SW900 LOSX 903, the tank cars replaced with hoppers, the older water tower in the background still stands, and the family run business still operates on 401 Waring Street.

 

 

Taken with Permission.
