I115 waiting for CSXT 6538 to switch intermodal cars at DeWitt Yard

CSXT 6538 pulls east down the Departure/Outbound Lead, nearing CP282. At the " Green Bridge " in Minoa, New York, CSXT 6538 is switching intermodal cars at DeWitt Yard on the Departure/Outbound Lead . The cars are being switched in the Departure Yard to the west of the Green Bridge. I115, with CSXT 3056, is stopped on Track 1 just east of CP282. Left, a train switches on Track 4. Right, the end of M364-26 rolls east on Track 2. While, CSXT 6538 switched the block of intermodal cars, intermodal train I115  (Worchester, MA., to Syracuse, NY.) arrived and stopped on the east side of CP 282. I115 had to wait for the switching operation to clear before entering DeWitt Yard via CP282. CSXT 6538 begins shoving its cut of cars down the Departure/Outbound Lead.

CSXT 6538 and CSXT 8060 switching at CSX's DeWitt Yard

CSXT 6538 and CSXT 8060 are shoving back at the high car defect detector at the western end of Track 4. In the distance a train is working on the North Drill Lead. CSXT 6538 and CSXT 8060 are switching a string of intermodal cars at DeWitt Yard. The locomotives initially pulled the intermodal rail cars east from the Departure Yard on the Departure Lead to Track 1 of the Syracuse Terminal Subdivision at Control Point (CP) 282. Then began shoving the rail cars back into the Departure Yard. After capturing the locomotive duo from the Green Bridge , I went over to a trail head parking lot to the west to get a side view. In this view, taken from a trailhead parking lot, the locomotive duo shoves back on the Departure Lead toward the Departure Yard. In the background is the Local Yard.
