At Winona Jack's train overtakes the steam powered train that left Winslow ahead of his. The rear brakeman of that train has lined this train into the siding so it can run around his. This will save Jack's train time as it will not be stuck behind this train as it has to stop for water. Once clear of the east switch at Winona, the rear brakeman on the other train will line the switch back to the main so this train won't have to stop. The railroad changed the name from Winona to Darling in November 1959.

The train meets an eastbound freight as it are easing out of the siding at Winona. That is the old US 66 bridge over the tracks. As the Bobby Troup song says, "Don't forget Winona." US 66 used this bridge until 1947 when another bridge was built over the track between Cosnino and Flagstaff.
