APA 81, SNOWFLAKE, AZ 3-4-19

One of the Apache's other sources of income is online car storage. Between the tracks that are still available out by what use to be the papermill, and the Snowflake Branch seen here, they re able to store a sizeable amount of cars when called upon to do so. The most common types they'll have are intermodal flats, tank cars, and sand cars. Today they brought in 100 sand cars from Holbrook for said storage. And with luck on the side of 6 out of town fans, we all cleaned up on the them as the 81, 82, and 99 back 80 of the cars down onto the branch. The other 20 cars were left on the main back at the junction and will go to the mill site for easier access as their pull date will be sooner than these.
