Liberty St .. Coming out of BN Eola yard with a full coal train.
Sometimes they would stop at the top of the ramp. Which never made sense to me, maybe a crew change or waiting on a signal??
Kevin Piper Had to line the mainline switch?Mike Schattl They probably needed to get a track warrant and didn't want to trip the grade crossing signals....

Note that the connector is a ramp because it is going between the grade level Eola Yard and the elevated EJ&E.
