A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.  Contributor's Pick!       
A typical call at Crain Ave. would have sounded like this: "Marion, Crain Ave." After the dispatcher answered, we would tell him that engine #2551 on the westbound 89 is ready to depart Crain Ave. By that time the conductor would have given the dispatcher the consist from the yard office at the east end. Engine 2551, 2512 and 2407, 79 loads and 14 empties, 5987 tons. Engineer Paul Waddell, conductor R.L. Stillions. If we were allowed out of westbound yard track 1, we would have to pull out slow enough for the conductor to line it back for the main. The folks in Kent didn't like us all that much.
