No. 556 leads a wrecked Westbound freight around Mile 30, Yarmouth Sub. According to Ron Haight, the driver was "Bisquit" Corning, who was well known for a heavy hand on the throttle and his taste for liquor. Apparently, Corning was fired and re-hired by the DAR several times.

No. 6109 was in transit from Kentville to Yarmouth for switching duties, hence the covering of its headlight.
