All of these were taken from the Johansen expressway on 23 August 2018.  As luck would have it the overnight northbound freight was running late that day, I knew this because I was at the bridge setting up earlier in the day (around 0700) when an ARR yard employee yelled up to me it was running late; told me it was expected around 1130 - 1200.  I thanked him and packed up my stuff, deciding to come back later.   I have to say every ARR employee I met was cool as heck, every engineer gave me a friendly wave, and several stopped to chat while I was waiting to give me updates on the trains schedule.    

Anyway, I came back later and was able to catch 130N rolling into the yard.  I'm only guessing but I believe they prepositioned 2005/2004 in order to expedite breaking down the overnight freight.  I mentioned luck since the delay allowed the weather to clear up.... turned into one of the nicer, non-raining, days there.  

130 pulled down until the TOFC section was almost even with 2004/2005, uncoupled, then pulled their train ahead to clear space allowing 2004/2005 to pull up, back down and couple onto the TOFC section.  2004/2005 then pulled the TOFC's up into the intermodal unloading siding.

Once clear 130 backed their remaining section back into the south-yard; first setting their string of tank cars lead, then up and back to set out the remaining cars.  After 130's engines left for the engine facility 2004/2005 came back and grabbed the string of tank cars 130 had set out.     They then proceeded to run to North Pole; I chased them there and grabbed a few shots of them setting out and picking up more tanks at the old refinery.
