left-arrow right-arrow

Ryan, the Bear Creek yardmaster tonight, waves his uncoupling pick as though it was a maestro's baton, conducting train movements through his yard. He started the session with a huge block of Pocatello longs, but has managed to give nearly all of them to train 200, necessitating the helper cut in ahead of the caboose.
Ryan believe if he can get all the cars out of his yard, he wins!

In the distance it appears train 201 is received clearance and is headed for the mainline. On the right the mainline crosses over the Siskiyou branch on it's way to Oakhill.
