and Jim Thompson (above, far right).
Sue City was almost as busy later on as
Danny Garland (above, far right),
Dick Schneider (above, right), and
Allen Free(above, right,tallest)
try to get two trains switched at once.
Jeff Guidrey (above, middle) who was the "Keeper of the Ring"
and Jim Thompson (above, left) are busy switching
two trains in Robinson.
Art Houston (above, left) is busy making a video tape
while Snub DeRoven waits for more action.
Trains, trains, trains, everywhere trains.
The dispatcher had fun all night weaving
the trains past one another to keep the
freight moving.
112 is switching in North Park.
772 is moving ahead of 86 between
Great Bridge and Pinecrest.
238 is switching in Maryville.
And they are all south bound!
