Description:  The wrecker is rolling down Battleground Avenue (NC 216) to my left. Two trains are sitting south of the intermediate signals out of sight, hence the red restricting signals on both mains 1 and 2.

Lets get this track open
Title:  Lets get this track open
Description:  The chain is around the fifth wheel and they will soon start pulling this guy off the mainline. The lady, whom I presume was the owner of the stuff in this truck, was on the scene at one point looking inside the door which is over main one with ATLAS on it.

Finally off the track and in the clear
Title:  Finally off the track and in the clear
Description:  This truck is backing off Gold Street onto Battleground Ave where the Kings Mtn PD will further do their business. After 10 minutes, this driver actually turned on the other leg of Gold Street which also turns to the left at the 2nd signal in the picture....I'd hate explaining this to the boss back home.
