Three in a row
Title:  Three in a row
Description:  Three trains side by side, though appearances are deceiving: the two trains on the left are westbound, the train on the right is eastbound and going away, but its DPUs make it appear to be approaching. The old Santa Fe signals are not long for the world; new masts and heads are staged next to the tracks.
