For Freight Car Friday here's a gritty battle worn survivor still working on home rails entrained on CSXT M404-02 (Philadelphia Greenwich Yard to Selkirk manifest) seen emerging from the north portal of Fort Montgomery Tunnel and approaching Mine Dock Park and CP43 on the busy, scenic, and always fun River Line.
NYC 297644 is an 86ft 263K ton auto parts boxcar designed for hauling bulky but light components from factories to final assembly plants. These massive cars were once ubiquitous and could be seen in countless colorful fallen flag paint schemes as giant billboards for their owning company. Alas their ranks have thinned greatly as fleets have aged out and industry changes have reduced their need so it was a treat to see a cut off them pass by still earning their keep. To learn more about these unique cars I found this post super informative:
The car was restencilled with NYC initials denoting its assignment to CSXT at the time of the Conrail split but it still caries it's original number in CR series 297601-297912. Per railcarphotos.com this car in CR class B83A was part of a 311 car order built by Greenville Steel Car between Apr and Jun 1978 as order number 1156.
As for the railroad, this thousand foot long bore dates from 1909 when the West Shore straightened out portions of this route and the orignal right of way is plainly visible where it curved thru the rock cut visible immediately to the right. This tunnel is named for the site of the historic fort that sat immediately above the tunnel atop the rocky outcrop overlooking the Hudson. Now a National Historic Landmark the fort was built in March 1776 during the War for Independence. Per the state historic site: On October 6, 1777, British, Loyalist and Hessian forces attacked Fort Montgomery and nearby Fort Clinton. The defending American Patriots, outnumbered 3 to 1, fought desperately until driven out of their forts at the points of the enemy bayonets. More than half of the Patriot forces were killed, wounded or captured.
CSXT's River Sub (ex Conrail, Penn Central, New York Central, nee West Shore) dates from 1883 in this area and despite being a relative latecomer its mainline up the west bank of the Hudson has only grown in importance over the decades as traffic patterns have shifted. Today this line between northern New Jersey and the Albany area is by far the busiest north south route in the northeast, while conversely virtually the entirety of the West Shore's route to Buffalo along the south side of the Mohawk River has long been abandoned.

A local freight running on my mainline; with lots of nice Penn Central going on. As this is a pan shot of motion, I like to think of this as "Pan Central."

After falling a little short on my last attempt to build a micro freight terminal, I decided to give it another try. This time, I used a smaller scale (1:305 instead of 1:200) and narrowed the scope a little so that I could include all of the details that were missing from the first one.
This diorama is a section of a small, manned freight terminal, designed to handle both containerized and RO-RO cargo. A Panamax class container ship is docked at the quay and is ready to be unloaded. In the staging areas of the terminal are the cargo from a recently unloaded RO-RO ship, including a fleet of new cars and some heavy equipment (including a few ultra-class, 400-ton mining trucks). Yard trucks and reach stackers are busy moving containers around the yard, and there are two fully loaded freight trains on the rail spurs ready to pull out.
"Cambria Freight Station, also known as Christiansburg Depot, is a historic freight station located at Christiansburg, Montgomery County, Virginia, US. It was built in 1868–1869, and is a wood-framed, one-story, U-shaped structure with a shallow hipped roof and deeply overhanging eaves in the Italianate style. A portion of the center section rises to form a tower-like second-story room, covered with an even shallower hipped roof. A long, one-story freight section extending eastward from the rear. The building also served as a passenger station, until Christiansburg station was built nearby in 1906. The building houses a local history museum known as the Cambria Depot Museum.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It is located in the Cambria Historic District." (Wikipedia)
