Streetside Sandwich
Another from the archives and the caption I wrote way back then:
An afternoon yard job has MP15 1552 sandwiched between two covered hoppers as it picks its way gingerly up the APU spur to spot two cars at Alaska Mill and Feed. The move is configured this way account the customer has two spurs, one of which is a facing point move for feed cars and one which is a trailing point move for fertilizer cars, and there is no runaround on this lead. This is as close to street running as you can find on the ARR and it is an interesting little operation.
