Coal train 754 passes Union Street and the Salem Connection Track on its way to South Yard, as seen from the Colorado Street overpass in December 2005. Minutes later, a hostler bring three ES40DCs out of the Connection Track and follows 754 toward south yard, where the three units will likely become the lead motors of 754 on its trip down the Winston Salem line to Duke Power's Belews Creek Steam Station.
