After completing their work at Chem Spur, the West Local has no cars to take west to Rocky. However, the light power will head up there to switch some hoppers around on the Rocky Spur.

Thanks Russell! It is my pleasure. Now if only I could find somebody to pay me my current salary to go take pictures all day, I'd REALLY bet set. :)
