Chicago North Western, Union Pacific

Burlington Northern built the south end of the Orin Sub in the late 1970's, completing the connection with the north end in 1979. Chicago North Western was interested in helping finance the operation, but didn't have the money (Union Pacific would end up helping instead). Interesting now to see a (patched) CNW AC4400CW leading a westbound (geographic northbound) coal empty on Main 3 some 32 years later.

The conductor speaks with the engineer to coordinate a reverse move with a string of five units at the east end of the Guernsey yard. Note the green light visible in the distance. BNSF has installed push-button switches in the yard, making it a lot easier for the crews to throw the switches. The green light is an indicator that the switch is in the normal position. Yellow indicates a reversed switch.
