two yard engines and a caboose
Title:  two yard engines and a caboose
Description:  there were two yard leads on the west end of Daytons Bluff. It looks like one engine is waiting "in the clear" until the other one with the caboose finishes making its move and the lead is then clear for a lite engine.

CBQ 9412B
Title:  CBQ 9412B
Description:  the Burlington was said 2b "Everywhere West"--- and when yard engines left Dayton's Bluff on transfers to other railroads in the Twin Cities- they were often used in multiple unit engine consists each engine always faced the same direction--- WEST!!! Usually there was 2 or 3 but one day i saw a transfer heading to the GN or NP with 7 of these sw1000's and yes they were all facing west!!! Then one day someone decided that "the red birds" meaning the road power from LaCrosse and Chicago- could run thru to the GN @Union Yard and also to the NP @Northtown--- it was a sad day 4me!!!

working the caboose track
Title:  working the caboose track
Description:  at Daytons Bluff, the yard engine seems to be putting away a couple of wooden cabooses. Notice the pile of coal on the far left probably for the caboose stoves?! The caboose numbers are 13891 and 14332.
