Done Throwing Switches

Since a sand train was on the inside main, Amtrak 8 had to follow a Z train to St. Anthony and crossover there to get into the Commercial Yard. The conductor activated the pushbutton switch as usual, but before he could climb up into the cab, his engineer informed him that another hand-throw switch was lined incorrectly and would need to be thrown as well. Here we seen the conductor walking back to the lead locomotive after throwing the second switch.
