Entering the east end of the yards.
Hurrying past the refurbished ex N&W caboose.
All quiet in Bristol on Christmas Eve save for idling engines.
With the tail end of eastbound 23G moving past, the westbound gets underway to Knoxville. Caboose is part of local V40. Boxcar is one of many in temporary storage in Bristol.
The local is heading across town on a very foggy morning.
