a picture a day....

This AM the East End looked like this:

That empty covered hopper needs picked-up and the swoosh tank re-spotted as it takes several days to offload into tank trucks.

That loaded UP grain hopper needs picked-up and the BN empty spotted.

Ready to get to work with one grain hopper to set-out off-spot at the elevator:

Seventeen moves later and switching is finished at the east End:

Towners, NY

For today:  "Down at the railroad tracks ... Boys on a Saturday afternoon." 

So this AM there will be two pick-ups and two set-outs at the East End, the swoosh tanks and a loaded and an empty grain hopper.
