Art didn't mark-up on this November day, otherwise he would be working the pin puller job instead of taking photos.  Art Laidlaw photo.  November, 1951 at San Luis Obispo.

And the guy atop the caboose passing signals to the engine crew would have been Art.
A remarkable vignette of railroading back in the day, long before radios, short (reduced) crews
and a yard office complete with yardmaster, various clerks and crew callers. Thanks Art!
And thank you Mr. Stark for showing us how it was.
