7. Coos Bay shown here backing into the yard with a long cut mostly of lumber CBR3876 CBR3823 and CBR3802

8. CBR tied in Eugene Yard at 3:06 p.m, way the heck in the back there. They must have gone for beans or something as I gave up waiting for them to head back to Coos Bay.

9. late in the day, a fitting close with a golden ATK Cascades #508 taking the curve between the new and old Eugene yards.

Thanks! I just got lucky timing-wise. The light wasn't that great but it was too good a situation to pass up.
