Yard job
Title:  Yard job
Description:  I got to Wisconsin Rapids the night before, and there was nothing going on. When I came back the following morning, there were two trains. Train 2 from East Winona had arrived behind a C424 and two RS 27s, and this local, working with a rebuilt RS 3. It doesnt get any better. Well, the sun could have come out.
