After CN 8816 has switched tracks, CN 2582 backs up, and idles in one of the old roundhouse tracks behind the turntable. You will notice in the beginning, the engineer blew a few blasts. The reasoning for this was because my dad and I were right behind the track he was backing up on, and with no end block to the siding, he didn't want to risk an accident. I wasn't mad or anything, because we moved out of the way, and I continued shooting, If you look close, you will also see the brakeman (not sure if they're still called that) wave us on!
Enjoy!
