In the early evening of April 25, 2008, local train C711 crept north through Coxsackie on the controlled siding with just one engine. The train arrived at the team track siding south of Mansion Street at Milepost 120. The crew was stopping to drop off some tank cars and pick up the cars that were sitting on the siding, except for one tank car which would remain. The switching operation took almost exactly fifty minutes.
