UP 3924 headed a train on the Amtrak siding, 4:51 p.m. I just stayed seated in my lawn chair and looked up. The precious train was stopped in the block under the bridge so the switch between Main 2 and Main 1 couldn't be thrown, so it was routed on the siding and will get on Main just around the curve ahead.
