By Sunday night the grade leading through the terminal throat, and to the switches along the south side of the terminal yard, had been leveled and made ready for track.
"There's no frigate like a book to take us lands away ..." A row of heavy, hard-backed books holds track in place as the glue dries. Standing them up allows air to circulate and the glue to set more quickly.
The track gangs have finished laying the switches into the southern terminal yard and a pair of cars, one standard diner and a heavyweight baggage, are used to find the hairy spots through the crossover.
