Russ is right - there is a yard at Montogmery called the sheep yard. I've
'traded
trains' with the Railnet a few times there. We pull down the old north main and
leave our train on the sheep yard lead (a couple engine lengths east of the yard
tracks), and the Railnet leaves theirs in one of the yard tracks. Usually they
are
there waiting for us, so they will have already cut off and ducked out of the
way in
another yard track. We tie on to theirs and they tie on to ours, and up through
the
yard or up the old north main they go.
Of course as Bob already said, for the last few weeks they have just been
coming down
to Eola and doing their thing like they own the place. No more hiding out in the
'sleep yard' for us, apparently.
