As P&W's Worcester switcher led by B40-8W 4005 (ex-BNSF) and B40-8 4004 (ex-NYSW) shuffle cuts of auto racks around congested Gardner yard, ex-CSX B40-8 arrives with PAS FI-1 on its way back to Fitchburg with 5 box cars after servicing Seaman Paper and NEWW. FI-1 is arriving just in time to unclog the yard for P&W by extracting 5 company gons loaded with fresh ties for PAS track work out of the middle of the yard (track 1?) and placing them on the House track for MoW access. Once the gons are removed, P&W crew can figure out how to bring in 15 more empty racks (two tracks are already filled with fright and racks for PAS pick-up) and take out 27 loads for Davisville.
