Wallula Yard
We pull into the yard at Wallula where a crew is busy switching sorting cars and building trains. We exchange friendly waves as the bell on our locomotive rings about twice a second to help warn anyone working in the yard of our approach.

At this point Marc catches up with us and starts snapping away. We talk with him for a bit, and then couple up to our empty cars which will be taken out to Hooper on a later date. Its a little weird being on the other side of the glass, but I appreciate being able to see exactly what it looks like from the cab.

Tie Down Our Train
We pull up to the siding we started on hours earlier with our empties in tow. Marc is waiting and watches as Tony and Kent tie our train down.

The End. I hope you enjoyed coming along for the ride. Big thanks to Kent and Tony for letting me tag along, and to all my friends at the PCC railroad who make these trips possible.
