looking east from ready track 10, refered to as 10 East you can see the blue flag and derail are down for the move off the track. A bit about the track arangement you see here. The Ex BN SD40-2 is on "the ready track" The track your looking ahead is 10 then moving to the left it's 6,5 and 4. While 4-10 are ready tracks since they are in the enging shop controlled area they aren't called ready tracks here. At this yard the term "ready track" is where power that needs NO servicing is put as it's normally going to be on a outbound train pretty quick. Tracks 4-10 are where units that were serviced and built into outbound consists sit until the crew gets on duty.
