The evening autorack train Q277 is ready to west and work the yard before getting out of town. In the background is empty coal train E450 changing crews on Track 1 Main and also the Wheeling and Lake Erie K301-02 empty coke train. Those will be featured in other photos from me. Note the empty concrete square in the foreground, and the little brick building with the stairs missing. There was an autorack train derailment mishap that happened here in 2006, knocking out the main floodlight tower and the stairs on the building, which is no longer used anyways. Photographed from public property on Crawford Avenue Bridge.
