Go make something!
The fog has lifted but hasn't burned off yet as OE 53 continues switching Junction City. Here the crew is putting the Nickel Plate box on the team track so they can get to the Frisco car on the second track over. The Frisco box is their last trailing point move before they run around the train and take care of all the facing point spots before they head back to Bear Creek yard.
They are carefully watching the clock in anticipation of train 21 showing up in just a little while. They need to couple onto the string of cars on the other track, then grab the cars off the team track and leave them all on the depot siding. They will keep hold of the Frisco box as they run around on the main. After the run around, the Frisco box will be in front of the loco for its spot and all the other cars will be behind for what are now trailing spots and pick ups. #53 will then take its train off the depot siding and cross over to the industries on the far side of the main in plenty of time for passenger train 21 to make its station stop.
The action was photographed on Charlie Comstock's BCSJ railroad set in 1952.
