Shay 15 is backing up, so falling under the engine is not a possibility. Unfortunately the NGDF software does not allow posting the screen shots in the correct order, so it may not be obvious that the engine is going away. I am sure that this switch crew has praticed this switching move many times, but I agree with you ….it doesn't look very safe to me either.
