A westward move to the siding switch of the Northwestern Pacific Railroad Schellville Job performing a run-around here passing through the Green Island Road railroad crossing while they were switching and will pull back east into the siding track here in American Canyon, California. I had moved up to the Biagi Pvt. crossing which is why I didn't film the back to train movement and only filmed this light engine heading to the switch. Also, note that in the beginning, you can also see the CFNR UP LRJ90 job switching at the Napa Junction Wye behind the NWP.
