Another view of Bear Creek yard and yardmaster Mark. Behind him, on the right, the crew of train 201 is bringing their train (not yet visible) down grade from Oakhill to Bear Creek. It'll soon be crossing the bridge over Lower Bear Creek. In the distance, it appears the crew of train 200 is preparing to enter the far end of the yard. These train meet at Bear Creek. Fortunately the yard sports two A/D tracks as well as main and passenger siding. With a bit of look ahead, the meet is not a problem. One of these days, I reckon I ought to finish Bear Creek yard. For now, yardmasters have to make do with the temporary version. I chose to get the layout into operation first, then worry about completing everything later.
