A northbound freight led by Northern Pacific 2-8-0 no. 60 waits in the siding for a southbound Pacific & Idaho Northern passenger train. The freight train’s crew is on the ground to do a roll-by inspection of the passenger train. Dave Rickaby photographed the scene on Dave Allen’s freelanced HO scale Pacific & Idaho Northern, featured in the April 2005 issue of Model Railroader.
