The float is unloaded and cars are ready for KW-5 (Kings Port to West Mill, Northbound). A little later in the afternoon the train is seen arriving, headed by a GP38-2.
The loco uncouples from the grain cars it brought from Kings Port's Williams Yard and moves to pull some empties from Empire Grain first.
After the empties have been pulled and set forward of the turnout leading to Empire Grain, the GP38-2 does a couple of back and forth moves to reach the Float Yard's interchange track, and couples onto #76983.
After #76983 and three other cars were pulled out the loco did a runaround move to get in front of them, and then backed into the covered hoppers KW-5 brought from Kings Port. All going to be spotted at Empire Grain. Car #76983 is now the 4th one behind the Geep as it takes the switch into Empire Grain.
Then its just a matter of reversing into the sidings at the elevator and #76983 is in place. After unloading it will head back home.....
