Rain turning to ice on the rails. Everything slows down. Switching gets careful, walking gets deliberate. The yard doesn't stop, but it respects the weather.
Time for another round of switching lists and hot coffee.
The yard is never quiet, but it has its rhythm.

Midnight shift. Just built a unit train of grain hoppers for the Gulf Coast. 110 cars, all in order, all air-tested. The engineer got the highball. Watching a mile-long train you built roll out is a special kind of satisfaction.
