L&N Industrial Rail Spur

Switching Session (Cont'd)...

In Photo06, we've completed spotting our cars for Blommer and are heading back on to the lead to set over GACX 56410 in the hold spot. Look's like Conductor Chitwood has already assumed his daydreaming spot on the end of the cab and will do some paper work while the crew goes to switch Clark Distributing.     In Photo07, we've coupled on to MP 793012 an empty and will set it over on the lead, then spot ATSF 625332 at Clark's door. MP 793012 had a load of Coor's, but ATSF 625332 is full of Miller. Clark is one of our better customers and usually gives everyone on the crew a case of either Coor's or Miller at Christmas.     In Photo08, we've spotted ATSF 625332 at Clark's and are heading back south on the lead to get our outbound train.     In Photo09, we've coupled up our outbound train, made our air test and Conductor Chitwood tells us to "Go Ahead" and we head back toward the main line and to the yard. The third shift yard crew Y301 will switch the City Spur again sometime after midnight tonight and will no doubt have cars for Blommer, the warehouse, the food processor and maybe something for Lowes Lumber. Will be a long night for them.     That's it for now. Once I get this mess cleaned up and am able to do some real construction on the layout; perhaps I'll make a video of switching operations. For now we'll have to settle for just photos. Sorry that some of the photos are a tad blurry, but the I think the camera man may have paid a visit to Clark's before we got started.
