Bear Creek yard still sports a temporary class yard with six body tracks. I wasn't sure how many tracks would be needed here so I built the experimental class yard using scrap-box track and turnouts. It appears one more track would be a good idea, bringing the body track count to seven.

Bear Creek has come to life with the Bear Creek Haulers east and west meeting there. In the foreground a helper unit is being added to train 200, the Bear Creek Hauler East to get it up the 2.3% grade to Oakhill.

Train 201, the Bear Creek Hauler West, on arrival/departure track two (third track from the aisle) appears to have completed it block swap and is awaiting orders from the dispatcher before it heads for Salem in main staging where it will tie up.
