Remarks & Notes 
MILW 971 arrives on the interchange/drill track at Eau Claire Tower with cars to be switched into Uniroyal Tire Co. in the background. A westbound CNW freight is about to clear the MILW/SOO diamond and the interlocking protected by the Tower. Out of sight to the right of the freight, CNW 1278 waits for permission to proceed out of Eau Claire yard to Altoona where CNW's main yard is located.
