After much scolding from dispatch engineer Foley brings his train to Coos Bay.
Number 7 and its train pull into the yard as number 3 awaits to depart with a caboose hop to Coquille Jct. to pick up some log loads.
Terry begins his switching duties at Coos Bay.
Meanwhile Number 3 has arrived at Coquille Jct., dropped its caboose and runs around to pick up the waiting log loads.
Number 3 runs around train and hooks up.
Conductor has lit the caboose marker light.
Log train awaits clearance to proceed.
The log train clanks onto Davis Slough trestle at a brisk 15mph.
Number 3 signals its approach to Coos Bay yard limits with a long blast from its whistle.
The log train at rest on its assigned track. “Oh goody! says engineer Foley, more congestion in the middle of my switching!”
Terry checks his switch list.
Terry seems to be enjoying himself as he sorts out the mess. Of course switching here is quite easy. Just ask Bruce. hehe!
Almost finished. All in all a job well done Terry! A great time. 4-1/2 hours counting the photo stops. Number 7’s batteries pooped out at a little over 4 hours of continuous operation and number 3 had to finish the last moves.
