Digging Out
On the far right of the frame the head brakeman on extra 734 west works to get the switch after digging and sweeping the points to get 734 out on the main to head to the west end of the yard at Trout Lake. At the west end the process will be repeated 4 more times before 734 can gather up its Marquette bound freight and back around the SW wye to get out of town. This slide was shot in January 1985 and was in a box I'd inadvertently tossed in with traders.
