Crossing Protection
With the 1209 left on the main along Cermak, the CIRY crew head up the Kramer spur, which requires crossing Cermak on a curve with no automated warning devices. One of the CIRY crew (everyone is qualified as an engineer AND conductor) protects the crossing with weather-beaten red flag. As the locomotive passes, he'll hop aboard on the fly and guide the engineer down the infrequently-used spur.
