Last week I observed the road train tied down in front of the yard office with two yellow units facing east. That was Friday night after getting off the SS BADGER so was a bit dark for pics. You should be able to catch them switching the customers along old 31 during the day with a scanner.

They run on AAR Channel 22, when the road job shows up in the afternoon one of the crews will usually jump over to AAR 80. Road job usually comes in from baldwin anytime from 1300-1700 and heads back to baldwin.
Yard job switches the yard most of the day, then goes to Oxy, Sargent Sand, and Cal Chlor on the branch later in the day.
