Ah... Train No.21, the passenger local west appeared, led by a Black Widow F-3, and scurried onto the depot siding as we approached. We were moseying through Junction City and they cleared just in time for us to not have to stop.

To the right of our reefers, the Junction City Turn keeps banging cars around while the rolling meet happens next to them. The JCT's crew wisely switched all the depot track spurs first, then moved over to the siding (farthest from the aisle), so train No.21 could make its stop.

We just got to participate in a three-way rolling meet! I told you the Junction City Turn was a way cool job. Pete (black T-shirt at the end of the peninsula) is our foot-board dispatcher today.
