Train no. 55 from Bridge St. at searchlight signal mast

Steam Passenger Train

This scene needs no definition, since it is the same as the one described in detail four pages back. There is a lull in yard operations as the westbound "Advance Empire" flashes by at 70 m.p.h. behind engine 6009, a Niagara 4-8-4 type. There are fourteen streamlined coaches in the train, half hidden in the smoke and dust. The lull is momentary, for the tender appearing in the left corner portends the arrival of a brace of 4-8-2s, no's.2721 and 2799, backing in to pick up a westbound freight.
