The solarium observation of the westbound Builder is in the hole as the eastbound Builder passes. On the GN, like most roads, eastbounds are superior to westbounds of the same class.
Ol' Clem is busy telling the boys about the big one that got away, as the Eastbound Builder roars past.
Later in the afternoon, an extra finds itself in the hole waiting for Freight 401 to pass. 401 is a westbound time freight and a second class train. During the wait, the engineer takes the opportunity to 'oil around' and the brakemen exchange greetings.
Another view of freight train 401.
