Two sets
Title:  Two sets
Description:  Today there were two sets of power at Yazoo, This was the working set, which was about to couple to the other engines on the cut of cars in the previous photo. Some switching is about to ensue, a rare catch for me, since mostly I see power sitting here, but never working

Done
Title:  Done
Description:  I went to fuel the RV while they were playing train, as we did want to get down the road. While fueling, the train pulled out of the siding on the west side of the main, setting the train on the main, then the second pair of diesels on the siding they came off, then moving to the siding on the east side of the main, where we see it now.
