Final departure of the day: WY79-WY80
the tank sweeper is off to service the refineries in Westville and Paulsboro.

*****************************************************************************************
The "turns" have all reached their intended destinations and are now heading back to the
Camden Pavonia yard. WY27 is now designated WY26. We find it here dropping a
loaded coal car at Barry Bros. Fuel in Westville. Most of the spurs along the double
tracked main line are conveniently serviced as trailing point sidings.

| The box cars serve as spacers to keep the engine's weight off the coal yard's timber trestle |
WY33 is now WY34, the loaded sand hog . It is passing through Westville with New Jersey’s
chief export: sand. (Remember this is the early 1950s and the massive interstate
road constructions have an insatiable appetite for concrete (hence sand).
WY840 (841)
is now straggling home with empties. It has to cross over 3 tracks in Woodbury
to continue right hand running back to the yards.

When WY50 (Salem),
WY842 (Deepwater) and WY80 (tank sweeper) finally limp home the day will be over ... and we can do it all again tomorrow!
