I made my way back into Lincoln as the sun was quickly going down. I heard this heavy set trying to get out of the yard, but they were having to wait on the incoming PASKCK reroute off the Hastings. The PASKCK got in, and they got him right up and out of the yard.
Sike.
What they actually did was cross the trimmer over from the north to the south main on their pull, blocking him from pulling off the south pads and onto the Hastings sub (I know it's the railroad but I still don't know the logic in this as the track they were on wasn't occupied for 40 miles due to the derailment). They messed around for 20 mins or so before finally pulling back and clearing the switch, at which point the dispatcher lined the heavies onto the Hastings with almost no light left.
I had planned on getting these a few times on the single track of the Hastings before the day was done. Instead, I was only to catch them in a sliver of light as they rounded the corner at A St. before they continued on west and I continued on home.
