South local returns to Grand Forks.

South Local picks up the final set of cars to take back to Grand Forks after the passing of M-GFDNTW.

South Local drops off a set of cars on the Hillsboro Siding.

Daily Hillsboro local comes off the Hillsboro Sub and into the yard following closely behind the M-NTWGFD after waiting for a track maintenance crew to finish working in yard.

The South Local waits patiently on the siding at American Crystal Sugar (Redco). He had to wait for two southbounds and a northbound to go by before continuing his work.

The usual suspects lead the South Local away from the yard and towards a full day of switching cars.
