15: No. 8, the eastbound Log Train arrived at Bagby at
10:27 a.m. After taking water, it pulled forward to the
clearance point for the siding. Since it is superior by
direction, it stayed on the main line. It is now 10:40
a.m. and the westbound Rock Train has arrived for
their meet. The Log Train is longer than the siding and
is blocking the west switch. Fortunately, the cars in the
Rock Train are only 22 feet long and locomotive will
slowly pull forward until its caboose is clear, allowing
the Log Train to pull out and leave for Incline.
