A westbound UP engineering special rolls by a UP track maintainer at Eisele (Clay). The maintainer has his hyrail pickup in the siding, while he is out on foot to give a roll by to the special. The maintainer will follow the special out of Eisele to check on any potential defects the engineering special might find.
