IN THE YARDS PT14

Last week, DCL9 returned from Dale City. Now the work begins...

The caboose is left on the main while the train gets switched. The crew will be done by the time the next through freight comes by.

Will throws the switch and guides the engineer as he backs the train into the yard track.

The entire train is parked on the long track, as all of the cars are headed west. They will be added to a  passing freight that will be coming through later.

 Will checks the reefer units to make sure they are off -no need to be running if the car's empty!

With the train secured in the yard, gen-set 300 returns to the caboose to clear the main for passing traffic.

As Will checks the reefers in the background, Jason helps the engineer back into another track, to clear the main.

Engine and caboose secured, Phil and Jason talk things over. The day is not quite over yet, but close to it!
