Its half past midnight at Kitchener yard.  The last GO trains of the evening have cleared the area, and freight action is well underway.  L566 slipped out to the Waterloo Spur behind 4906, 7068 shortly before this scene, rushing to clear up and give L533 access to the yard, while L587 with 4125, 4902, and HESR 3510 sat on the ladder.

With 533 in the siding and their engineer changing ends, 587 tacks the 3510 onto 533's power for movement to G&W's RailSynergy Oshawa operation, then ducks back into the yard to allow the Toronto crew to shove clear of the plant and make their runaround move to the east end of their lift.  587 will begin breaking up the inbound cars as soon as they've cleared the lead.
