Moving up |
| Description: |
A new MP 15 works at Pomona Yard in Greensboro. I had been here a year prior when the power was still NW 2s, so the bigger MP 15s were a step up, though I saw them having wheel slip a couple of times when shoving long cuts into the departure tracks. |

Vorking hard |
| Description: |
New MP 15 2353 pushes hard on a cut of cars being set over for pick up by a later train. The yard was busy enough to keep two switch engines busy all afternoon, and the parade of southbounds was bringing more, even as those trains picked up what the yard jobs had ready. |
