The trainman stomps down the switch lever, making sure it locks. Temps were around 60 this day. Imagine what its like when its 30 and everything is stiff. |

Pushed back |
Description: |
The local has made the shove back into a yard track, and will be pulling up again, once he spots the cut he's working. The track and switches make an interesting pattern. |

Done for now |
Description: |
The local has pushed all the way back into the yard, as seemed to be holding for a few minutes. They'll have to come back out to get the cars off the main track, as the Monett Turn will be returning some time in the next hour or so. I was lucky to have showed up at just the right five minutes to see some action. |
