UP
7405, 11:05 p.m. This train was stopped here to meet a southbound and
allow a northbound to pass. It would set up a somewhat unusual 3-train
meet at Union Station. The Baring Cross bridge liftspan was up before
this train got here, holding 3 trains. Since he's going to meet another
train on the same track, which was past a switch, the legal thing to do
is turn off your headlights for the meet.

Here's the other train on the Number 2 Main, also with headlights out.
