After coming down from the dock with some outbounds, plus three empty boxcars to spot, YMMU didn't have much work to do at the yard. Here is the yard job stopped in front of the freight house. Its just got an empty for Morton Mfg, on the belt line.
There are just three customers with trailing point switches on the belt, who combined get maybe one car a week between them. With no work at the facing point sidings on the belt, the yard job is taking the west leg of the wye to get on the Muskegon Heights Extension. I wanted to get some pics of this move, as its fairly uncommon. Here the train is clear of the north switch of the wye, and ready to head south to the belt.

The following are some pictures of the crew working a few customers on their way back up to the dock.

Keene Lumber didn't get a switch that day, but I shot a picture anyway.
