    This load is leaving the yard later this evening, inbetween the two cars I have sandwiched two large engines.



    While I was loading a guy pulled into the yard telling me that he has a couple of anhydrous ammonia wagons with tanks on them plus some house trailer frames already cleaned off.
    1:00 AM just returned from Jacks yard Gross weight 28,120 lbs, empty weight 19,140 lbs total weight of cars 8,980 lbs. I really like the idea of using the loader after hours to unload my cars, next load will be during business hours, grab the cash and run.
