D705 can be seen in the siding from Trowbridge's WE. No signal out so I presume they'll die here tonight. 20:49.

He may be there waiting for D706-25 to finish his Lansing work. D706 has 32 cars to set off & then pick up cars from #2 Track. The RN Dispatcher around 19:30 had asked D706 to tell their cab to hang around after they're done so that the cab could assist D705.

Now imagine what it was like when there were 4 times as many trains & the 2 bridges on Farm Lane hadn't been built yet!

"Gonna be 45 minutes to an hour, we're waiting for a train up at Ensel" - I watched someone crawl under a tank car, and the conductor had to explain to a pedestrian that they were blocking a crossing at the EE before moving over Harrison.

Personally I think blocking Mnt. Hope would be less of a problem than Harrison, but I'm not an engineer.
