GTW 4929 in charge. Only train today, of course. Now I know what the railfans on Raton Pass feel like...

Prior to 4929's arrival, a single truckload of concrete ties had Departed the yard office in the direction of the tunnel, and after 4929 passed me, bit before it returned, two additional truckloads of concrete ties left the yard office in the direction of the tunnel.
Also, Cranemasters is on the scene, with their trucks parked at the East end of the yard (in the vicinity of 32nd Street), while Hulcher's trucks are still parked in the vicinity of the Amtrak station (about 16th - 18th Street).
There are at least 3 panel tracks with wooden ties sitting on a trailer in the yard office parking lot, which haven't moved in the time I've watched the concrete ties heading for the tunnel.
Per scanner traffic, it sounds like another movement is taking place via Track 1, in the direction of the tunnel.
EDIT: that movement turned out to be the truck pulled flatcar of rail that Robert saw earlier.

Did they hold that EB rack train for him or did the westbound hold?

Looks like that rack train may have ended up at cory. Both ends are unlocked. With cn power I expected it to continue east but I dont see it anywhere on the map.
