            The E-Lead job's usual pair of SD38-2s are going full-out as they pull a heavy string of cars out of one track to set over in another. Meanwhile, U717 has just arrived behind a trio of SD40s (IC 6255, CN 5337, DMIR 405). The conductor is in the process of stepping off to the line train into a clear track for staging. In a few hours, a Proctor switch crew will take the loads down the hill to the docks, where the taconite will be unloaded.
