They have to test the derails every once in awhile to make sure they still work. It passed!-BMT

They also have to test derails when they are brand new. I used the UP 2111 to make sure the new one they installed on the Kruse Lead in Montclair,CA while I was on vacation was a success. It was.

My old stomping grounds back in my youth. That's taken either from the east end of the yard by Dillon Ave. or the spur just west of Jackson St. Looks more like the east end to me though, hard to make out the buildings in the background. There used to be hobo camps all along the north side of the yard and I was always cautious riding my bike along that stretch.
