The reason for the double-header, are heavy hopper loads of sand on the "head end" for Owens Glass Co. and loaded flour hoppers destined for the "Fruit and Team Tracks" at a small yard that also shares space with the Santa Fe loading dock and the "coil car" crane.

At a road crossing in Vernon the ATSF 1200 and LAJ 2619 stop to cut some team track cars off the rear end. The Santa Fe 1200 (MK-1200 LNG) runs on Liquified Nateral Gas, these units have excellent visibility and power, they were a pleasure to operate.
