Marshall Pass extra 497-491 east
Engine 497 Dailey

Engineers on duty 8:15 AM and depart Marshall Pass 8:15 AM. These engines move east to Shirley to help extra 499 west to Marshall Pass. Departure time east bound is shown as same time for both engines, though “coupled” is not shown. Additionally it appears they backed down as they did not go to Mears Jct and turn. My guess is engine 497 went into the siding at Grays and waited for extra 499 west while engine 491 went on to Shirley and was added to the train there.
