Western Railroad Discussion > Wait here....Date: 08/04/15 20:10 Wait here.... Author: photobob A southbound CN Grain train stopped at the Wait Signals at the south end of the Dunsmuir Yard this evening. The train is in the Dunsmuir Siding waiting for the ZLCBR-04. A couple of DPU's bring up the rear of the train as they continue down the Sacramento River Canyon.

Author: photobob So the train won't block the South First st road crossing. The next signals are around a curve and cannot be seen from this location.
