While the northbound was putting its train together, a southbound on the "Valley Line" had pulled down to the "holding signal", awaiting its turn in the yard. This 3-unit consist was the only one containing the WC "standard" SD45. |

Before leaving Fond du Lac, we headed to Scott Street where I spotted a southbound with a WC in the lead. I applied the 5 minute rule. |

About the time I heard the southbound blowing for Highway 175 at Byron, I hear a northbound blowing for a crossing south of where I was at Highway Y. The northbound took the siding at Quad Graphics for the meet. |
