After waiting north of the signal, Hamlet-New Orleans Train 215 has the OK to start moving again. The crew will ease down the hill through downtown Opelika, cross the Southern, then take the siding to meet a northbound. The trailing unit is a WP/GA geep, so there is probably an Atlanta-Montgomery cut stuck on the back of 215's cars, as well as a WP/GA caboose.
