Viewing Album:  The right five minutes
 
By:Tom Beckett
Dates:2/23/2023 - 2/23/2023
Album Info:I had an appointment in Springdale, which we went to after a nice lunch at Tangiers in Fayetteville. After the appointment, I went over to the A&M Springdale yard to see if anything was afoot. It was, A&M 56 and 57 were working a cut of cars just as I got there. You can sit all day in some places, and not see anything. But sometimes, you show up for five minutes and see a whole bunch of action. It just has to be the right five minutes.

Pushed back
Title:  Pushed back
Description:  The local has made the shove back into a yard track, and will be pulling up again, once he spots the cut he's working. The track and switches make an interesting pattern.

Done for now
Title:  Done for now
Description:  The local has pushed all the way back into the yard, as seemed to be holding for a few minutes. They'll have to come back out to get the cars off the main track, as the Monett Turn will be returning some time in the next hour or so. I was lucky to have showed up at just the right five minutes to see some action.
