Pair of switchers
Title:  Pair of switchers
Description:  BN used end cab switchers all over the system, so it was not a surprise to see these two pulling a 48 car transfer through Hoffman Av en route to Pigs Eye. We see the action from atop Dayton's Bluff, at Indian Mounds Park. It's a great place to watch and shoot the action in the morning.

Grunt work
Title:  Grunt work
Description:  A pair of switchers work through a cut of cars at Clyde Yard. Also of note are the SP open auto rack, which were common in those days, and the Burlington box car at far right, looking pretty good 8 years after the merger.
