UP 6279 stopped in the siding at Rocky to pick up the gondola you see directly behind the unit from the house track at Rocky. With the car now part of the consist, the train is continuing east toward town. The yardmaster at North Yard informed the train that they will actually head to the 36th Street Yard, crossing the Belt Industrial Lead.
