UP 4089         
Conductor walks back to his train. Conductor had walked up the track next to him to where I was standing and asked if I was shooting pictures. The track next to him is the track which leads to the South Approach to the MacArthur Bridge. He told me his train was supposed to go over the bridge, but the ballast train was sitting on this track, facing south! The conductor had lined up his train to take the track it's currently on, but he might have thought that was his track, rather than the one the ballast train is on. I didn't stick around to see how they resolved this one, though.
