Once again we will join Jim Willis as he takes a northbound grain train (Train 85) across the Sue Line.
Train 85 has entered Leming and is preparing to switch James Grain.
Having left Train 85 on the mainline, the locomotives have
to pull some cars before placing the covered hopper.

A southbound freight is on the west mainline in Sue City (above, right most track),

and one of the two local switchers is on a spur (above,left most track).
After the above traffic has cleared, Train 85 waits
