WSOR 3808
Title:  WSOR 3808
Description:  The M2 job approaches Second street, just shy of the switch for the connecting track to the E. Johnson street yard. The switch is lined normal right now, which would take them to the yard, but the M2 is taking the "back leg" today. Yarding their 50-some car train would be a pain if they came in the 'normal' way.
