Description: The Conductor of today's Third La Mirada local keeps an eye on traffic approaching the grade crossing on Kimberly, while the crew switches out tank cars from the foam plant located to the Conductor's left. You can tell this is the Conductor because he has the "Book" - the orange thing in his back pocket that has a list of the contents of all the cars and what empties they are supposed to pick up and where each car is supposed to go.
