Having left their train tied down in the siding at Lobo, CP 244's power idles on what has to be the nicest shop track anywhere on the system (where else can you find a shop area fitted with giant flowerpots?!). A small hole in some fast-moving clouds allowed for a brief moment of storm lighting, which illuminated how ratty the paint was on the trailing unit (BNSF 899). The engines would spend almost the entire day parked on the shop track waiting for a new crew, who then took the power to Lobo to retrieve their train. Once back in London, the crew would do some more work (lifting 242's power, CP 6050-5966-HLCX 6337) before finally continuing east well after dark.
