FTRX 207 - East Chicago IN - 09/24/21 |
Description: |
Foster Townsend Rail Logistics GP9 207 is leased to Florida-based Patriot Rail Services, for whom it is working at Patriot’s subsidiary Lakeshore Railcar & Tanker Services, a full-service, logistics support complex with rail tank car and tanker truck washes, transloading, truck/trailer mechanical repair, maintenance, hazardous materials testing and wastewater treatment services – and, from what we witnessed on this visit, rail car scrapping. FTRX 207, built in July 1956, is the former ex-Copper Basin Railway 207, ex-Burlington Northern 1893 and originally Northern Pacific 276.
