Can it get more A&M than this?
With only 5 tracks in the small Springdale yard and with all of them being used, it made things a little interesting on this day. Here the Springdale switcher pulls a cut of cars out of the way of the RCO sand job and will shove down the main (center track) to let the C424 pass after it cut off it's empty sand cars. Once the RCO is in the clear the Springdale job will sort out it's cars to take east down the short spur in town, which will allow the Rogers turn, in the far distance, to roll down the main and head for the shops to tie up for the day. Even though it's not a mainline train with 4 or more Alco's, I don't think this photo could have gotten any more A&M than 3 jobs all being Alco powered.
