Friday Fun - Hartford Freight Train

Not on the Valley Line, but near it - in Hartford, CT. Connecticut Southern freight train northbound past the Legislative Office Building parking garage, heading up the Hartford viaduct through the station. Not sure what those funny rack cars are - never saw them before.

Enjoy & Happy Friday!

  1. I believe those rack cars are for laying/transporting continuous rail.

  2. I see these cars around the Harrisburg PA (Steelton) area often loaded with long lengths of welded Rail.

  3. Welded rail cars probably to be used in the double tracking project.

  5. Looks like the consensus is that those cars are welded rail cars - sure seems like that to me. Thanks Chris, Joe, and John for weighing in!
