WE 6315  Contributor's Pick!       
They will pull the rest of the way out of the Wheeling Connection, the conductor will line the derail and switch back for the main. Then the train shoves back to clear Summit St. The conductor must ride that shove and then walk to the head end. You might be wondering why he can't just walk up from Summit St. to the front of the train, the power crosses Cascade Locks Trestle on this pull. There is no place to walk on that trestle, just ties and 2 rails.
