Backing in |
| Description: |
SEPY has arrived and is now backing into Potomac Yard. Dont know why. Guess the crew wanted to see NW 1218, which was out of sight behind the train getting ready for an excursion to Front Royal. |

Odd couple |
| Description: |
Conrails SEPY pulls up to back into Pot Yard, only to look over and see one of its ancestors in the adjoining Southern yard in a stark contrast of eras. |

Street running |
| Description: |
Almost. The right of way was actually separated by a concrete curb. We see WAIT 2 working through town with one car for Cargill, much to the relief of local drivers, who are used to seeing 90 car coal trains go past at 10 MPH. This train will likely return with several dozen salt cars, a typical move. |
