Yardmaster Brandon seems intent on the rack of car
cards. The rack has a box for each track in the yard,
making it easy to find the paperwork for each car.

inserted in the pocket specifying the destination for
that car. Between op sessions I "turn" the waybill to
its next destination. Crews look at the visible destina-
tion on the waybill and switch the car accordingly.
