Pulling them out
Title:  Pulling them out
Description:  A power set comes out of the yard with a cut of cars to roll south. Its train is waiting on the main. The two SD 35's were common on road freights at this time, along with either an SD 40 or 45. Most of the trains I saw that day had some combination of SD 35's, 40's, and 45's, typically in three unit sets, almost all of them running long hood forward which was standard Southern practice.

Meet
Title:  Meet
Description:  It 5:30 on the Fourth of July, and we're on the Southern Railway at the north end of Pearl River siding witnessing a ritual that was repeated thousands of times each day. A trainman off of northbound No. 114 -- the run-through train from the MP running as 222 -- has performed a roll-by inspection of southbound piggyback train 219 and is letting his counterpart know that everything looks OK. No. 219 had GP38 2778 with 23 cars and caboose X411. No. 114 has SD35 3042, SD40 3174 and SD35 3019 with 98 cars and MP caboose 13430. It has been here for 30 minutes, and this is the second train it has met; but the 3042's headlight in back on and 114 is about to resume its journey north. Amtrak's southbound CRESCENT is running three hours late, so 114 won't have any more meets for a while!
