It is Friday morning and this BNSF train is departing Montana Rail Link's Laurel Yard. However, it is not headed west over the MRL. This train has a BNSF crew on it and it is about to diverge on to BNSF's Laurel Subdivision. This train is actually BNSF's daily Laurel, MT to Denver, CO manifest! It was interesting seeing this train at the other end of the trip! The green and yellow lights indicate the position of switches in the yard. A green light indicates the switch is normal and a yellow light indicates the switch is reversed.
