A GP38-2 and an GP15-1 pull 13 cars through the OS at the Stock Yards (CP DS901) on the Belt Lead. Once clear of the OS, the train will make a reverse move and shove down the track to the right and tie down.

A UP yard job, which switches out some industries along the Belt Industrial Lead, heads west toward a red signal at the Stock Yards. The crew is going to call up the dispatcher and request a signal at the Stock Yards, followed by a signal on to the Stock Yards lead (seen up to the right) where it will drop its cars and the crew will be picked up by a van.
