After an a hiatus of approximately 6 years, Revere Copper, founded by Revolutionary War hero Paul Revere and headquartered in Rome NY (the "Copper City"), is once again receiving shipments by rail.
It's the late morning of Feb 21, 2022. A Mohawk, Adirondack & Northern freight waits to access the CSX main in Utica NY to exercise trackage rights to Rome, approximately 15 miles west of the road's Utica yard. Before getting on CSX Track No. 1, however, the MA&N train (symbol Z343) must wait for a westbound mixed freight to pass. Before the CSX freight enters onto the scene, an eastbound Amtrak Empire Service train passes by on Track 2.
After departing Utica, the short freight is next seen speeding along on the "high iron" in Yorkville, a few miles from Utica.
The final scenes are in Rome as switching into Revere is observed.
