Dodger under a cloud
Title:  Dodger under a cloud
Description:  The Watts Dodger is returning to its home base in Watts after working north for the afternoon, rolling out from under a tall storm cloud as it hustles 20 cars back to Watts. The crew in the empty coal train cooling its heels in the siding is glad to see them, as they can now resume their progress north.

Relief
Title:  Relief
Description:  The Dodger meets the coal train, the second train they have waited for. It was not a long wait-the coal train was in the siding less than 30 minutes for a TXUX train and the local.
